Silimpopon:
A Borneo Coal Mine
by
Ross Ibbotson
New. Few people realise that Borneo had a highly productive coal mine, supporting a community of 3,000 people in its heyday, for about 30 years from the beginning of the 20th century. Ibbotson, an established Borneo resident, beautifully brings this forgotten part of Sabah's history back to life as a result of extensive research into official and private archives. He has also been able to recover several photogrphs which have never been published before. Recommended for Sabah and mining historians. 199 pages including a bibliography and an index.
