I'm not really interested in mining - have read much of that already, and I've downloaded a wonderful book on the Cornish language. I'm really interested in the cultural, religious, social, and political aspects of early Cornwall through the 1800s.

I'm interested in the Celts, the invasions, the alliance between the Danes and Cornish to fight the British, the Bible Christians vs Anglicans, and any of the social/cultural developments from early Cornwall to the 1800s. (My first known Cornwall ancestor did go to Pennsylvania, undoubtedly to work in the mines, then the family moved and took up farming. Maybe his family had had farming experience in Cornwall for him to be able to change professions.)

My Cornwall ancestors are so interesting, but the last one died in 1949 so I never knew any of them - just of them.

I'd love to know more. Thank you for any recommendations!
