while still trapped in the mine, the 33 miners chose to collectively contract with a single author to write an official history so that none of the 33 could individually profit from the experiences of others. the miners chose héctor tobar, a pulitzer prize-winning writer at the "los angeles times". tobar had exclusive access to the miners and in october 2014 published an official account titled "deep down dark: the untold stories of 33 men buried in a chilean mine, and the miracle that set them free". tobar described the previous books published on the topic as "quick and dirty" with "almost no cooperation from the miners." these books include "trapped: how the world rescued 33 miners from 2,000 feet below the chilean desert" (august 2011) by marc aronson; "buried alive!: how 33 miners survived 69 days deep under the chilean desert" (2012) by elaine scott; "33 men: inside the miraculous survival and dramatic rescue of the chilean miners" (october 2011) by jonathan franklin.

americans and canadians have long come to chile and other south american countries. many chilean miners, ranchers and businessmen immigrated to the united states (see also chilean american) as well to canada aware of the opportunities provided in north america in the 19th and 20th centuries. perhaps a large number of cherokee indian descendants live in chile and across south america, a rarity among the world's demographic history for native american populations to form a community throughout the americas. an estimated 90-100,000 cherokee descendants live in chile , but the high rate of cultural assimilation hasn't ended the genealogical search for their roots.
