Cornish Christmas – California’s Gold (120)

In this holiday special, Huell celebrates the holidays with the descendants of the original Cornish Carol Choir of Grass Valley. Join them as they reenact their 1940 concert of traditional Cornish Christmas carols, which took place 2,000 feet below ground in a gold mine, and was broadcast nationally on network radio. Huell travels below the Earth into a mine to discover what it was like for a Cornish miner to sing hymns for Christmas Day.
