The Miners (Time-Life Books) (Five Stars)


Excellent book. It covers almost every aspect of the gold and solver mining experience in the Old West: the life of the prospector, the dangerous underground work of the digger, the capitalists who financed finds, the assayers, the newly-minted millionaires, even the the cheats and crooks of the mining camps. Very entertaining and well-illustrated.
