Download or read book Cerro Gordo written by Cecile Page Vargo and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High in the Inyo Mountains, between Owens Valley and Death Valley National Park, lies the ghost town of Cerro Gordo. Discovered in 1865, this silver town boomed to a population of 3,000 people in the hands of savvy entrepreneurs during the 1870s. As the silver played out and the town faded, a few hung on to the dream. By the early 1900s, Louis D. Gordon wandered up the Yellow Grade Road where freight wagons once traversed with silver and supplies and took a closer look at the zinc ore that had been tossed aside by early miners. The Fat Hill lived again, primarily as a small company town. By the last quarter of the 20th century, Jody Stewart and Mike Patterson found themselves owners of the rough and tumble camp that helped Los Angeles turn into a thriving metropolis because of silver and commercial trade. Cerro Gordo found new life, second to Bodie, as California's best-preserved ghost town.

Download or read book The Bonanza Trail written by Muriel Sibell Wolle and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic account of Old West mining camps and gold-hunting prospectors is “a successful digging of a rich historical vein . . . phenomenal” (The New York Times). This colorful blend of history, reference, and travelogue brings to life the frenzied search for precious metals in nineteenth-century America through a tour of mining camps and former boomtowns, many now abandoned. It reveals the unbelievable privations men endured in the high Sierra and the Rockies and in crossing the desert wastes of Arizona, Utah and Nevada; the mines first discovered in New Mexico by Coronado and his men four centuries ago; and the first great rush that hit California in 1849. She follows the miners who poured in successive waves into the golden gulches of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, climbed to the deeper mines high in the mountains of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, and dared at last to penetrate the hostile Black Hills of South Dakota. In personally following the trails of the pioneering prospectors, Wolle stumbles upon mute evidence of past bloodshed, lust, and struggle, and recreates the excitement of the period. A gifted artist, she also includes maps and “more than a hundred poignant sketches conveying the loneliness, melancholy and crumbling dryness of ghost cities which throbbed once with the hopes of many people” (The New York Times). “The fascinating and definitive book on the ghost and near-ghost towns of the Old West.” —Lucius Beebe, The Territorial Enterprise “Good popular history and [a] useful reference work.” —Library Journal
Book Synopsis Ghosts Of The Coal Field by : Rebecca Solomon
Download or read book Ghosts Of The Coal Field written by Rebecca Solomon and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-22 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ghosts of the Coal Field is Rebecca Solomon's fourth book of short ghost stories. Set in the coal mining region of western Kentucky, these tales are filled with plenty of shivers. Several of them are about old coal mines where strange happenings cause some people to shy away. Other folks are intrigued and determined to explore, to their misfortune. Could a coal mine be dug all the way to Satan's abode? Could a mine site be so cursed that it actually threatens the lives of the workers? Could rivalry and violence between workers lead to a years- long haunting? Not all the stories take place in coal mines; this area is home to all kinds of "haints." Among them was the lady who cherished her flowers so much she even tended them and didn't want to share so much as a cutting even after death. There is one about a young witch who is being sabotaged by a vindictive cohort. No matter your taste in ghosts, you'll find something in this volume to keep you awake at night.

Book Synopsis Hard Places by : Richard V. Francaviglia
Download or read book Hard Places written by Richard V. Francaviglia and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working with the premise that there are much meaning and value in the "repelling beauty" of mining landscapes, Richard Francaviglia identifies the visual clues that indicate an area has been mined and tells us how to read them, showing the interconnections among all of America's major mining districts. With a style as bold as the landscape he reads and with photographs to match, he interprets the major forces that have shaped the architecture, design, and topography of mining areas. Covering many different types of mining and mining locations, he concludes that mining landscapes have come to symbolize the turmoil between what our society elects to view as two opposing forces: culture and nature.
Download or read book Mammoth Gold written by Gary Caldwell and published by Spellbinder Books. This book was released on 1990 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold high on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada brought hundreds of miners racing to California's Lake Mining District & the boom town of Mammoth City. MAMMOTH GOLD describes four tumultuous years, when hopes leaped sky-high upon The Mammoth Mine's discovery in 1877, then fell abruptly when the 40-stamp mill shut down barely two years after it was built. Not content with merely chronicling events, Caldwell points out the significant differences between the 1850's placer-mining camps & later years' hard-rock camps & addresses two major questions. First, who were the gutsy men & women that cast their lot with this harsh, isolated mining camp? Where did they come from? How did they manage? Did they strike it rich? Second, why did The Mammoth Mining Company fail? Was it just bad luck? Or mismanagement? Highgrading? A stock scam? Exploring for answers, Caldwell combines a historian's obsession with accuracy with his love for the people who worked & died in Lake District. MAMMOTH GOLD continues Genny Smith Books' tradition of quality books - with lively writing, exceptional illustrations, solid research & handsome design.

Book Synopsis Preserving the Glory Days by : Shawn Hall
Download or read book Preserving the Glory Days written by Shawn Hall and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nye County is Nevada's largest and least populated county, but it is also the site of many of the state's most colorful ghost towns and mining camps. The county's economy throughout its history has been largely based on its mines--first, exploiting veins of gold and silver, and more recently deposits of raw materials for modern industry, such as molybdenum and barite. It was here that famous boomtowns like Tonopah and Rhyolite sprang up after the discovery of nearby lodes brought in rushes of prospectors and the merchants who supported them. But the county includes many smaller, shorter-lived camps and numerous abandoned stagecoach and railroad stops associated with defunct mining operations.This book offers a lively, informative record of Nevada's isolated interior. Hall first published a guide to Nye County's ghost towns in 1981. Since then, he has continued his research into the county's past and has uncovered much new information and corrected some errors. To prepare this revised and greatly expanded edition, he revisited all 175 sites recorded earlier and has added more than 20 previously unlisted sites.
