Download or read book Kanawha River Gold written by Jim Barney and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-02-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kanawha River Gold By: Jim Barney Civil War buffs, problem solvers, and online sellers will enjoy Kanawha River Gold. Set in the town of Winfield, WV, several local folks find a listing on eBay for a logbook that was taken down the Kanawha River in the early 1900s on a treasure hunting expedition. The logbook contained clues to a Confederate Civil War treasure hidden somewhere along the river to keep it from Union forces, but the treasure hunters were overcome by icy waters and strong currents and the logbook was lost. This fast-paced tale will carry you on a journey with as many twists and turns as the Kanawha River and includes plenty of local history. Communities such as Leon, Frazier’s Bottom, and Poca become part of the treasure hunting adventure, and the Vignere Code, used by the Confederate Army to pass messages, may be the key to finding the location. Kanawha River Gold will entertain you with characters and events you can relate to on your journey through West Virginia.
Book Synopsis The Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858 by :
Download or read book The Fraser River Gold Rush of 1858 written by and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the gold rush which took place in the Fraser River and vicinity in 1858, which was within the British Possession and the Washington Territory, now called British Columbia and the State of Washington. This book covers the Fraser River Gold Rush from its infancy to what could be considered its conclusion, as viewed by the California newspapers. This book is somewhat unusual as it tells the chronological history of the gold rush as it unfolded and progressed, by using newspaper articles from that era. The news articles themselves were, in most cases, letters which had been written by many of the miners or correspondents who went to the area, either to dig for gold or report on what was happening. Many of the letters capture the experiences of the writer and his ordeal in trying to reach the gold fields, as well as the latest news of the day. Over 25% of the California miners would go to this place called the Fraser River, not believing in the perils and danger that awaited them until actually faced by them. As some would say, crossing the plains was nothing in comparison to trying to reach the gold fields of the Fraser River and vicinity. This book readily depicts their reason for saying so.

Book Synopsis Gold Metal Waters by : Brad T. Clark
Download or read book Gold Metal Waters written by Brad T. Clark and published by . This book was released on 2022-04-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold Metal Waters presents a uniquely inter- and transdisciplinary examination into the August 2015 Gold King Mine spill in Silverton, Colorado, when more than three million gallons of subterranean mine water, carrying 880,000 pounds of heavy metals, spilled into a tributary of the Animas River. The book illuminates the ongoing ecological, economic, political, social, and cultural significance of a regional event with far-reaching implications, showing how this natural and technical disaster has affected and continues to affect local and national communities, including Native American reservations, as well as agriculture and wildlife in the region. This singular event is surveyed and interpreted from multiple diverse perspectives--college professors, students, and scientists and activists from a range of academic and epistemological backgrounds--with each chapter reflecting unique professional and personal experiences. Contributors examine both the context for this event and responses to it, embedding this discussion within the broader context of the tens of thousands of mines leaking pollutants into waterways and soils throughout Colorado and the failure to adequately mitigate the larger ongoing crisis. The Gold King Mine spill was the catalyst that finally brought Superfund listing to the Silverton area; it was a truly sensational event in many respects. Gold Metal Waters will be of interest to students and scholars in all disciplines, but especially in environmental history, western history, mining history, politics, and communication, as well as general readers concerned with human relationships with the environment.
