Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1878 the name "Leadville" became synonymous with one of the world's greatest silver-producing regions. During the 1880s, when Leadville's economy was at its peak, the town was the second largest in Colorado, a mecca for prospectors, gamblers, retailers, performing artists, and entrepreneurs. In many respects, its history epitomizes the volatile character of Colorado's mining industry-from the rush to establish businesses, schools, churches, and newspapers in a booming mining camp to the conflict and violence of the miner's strike of 1896. More than forty years ago, Don L. Griswold and his wife, Jean Harvey Griswold, set out to describe the social, political, and economic life that grew out of Leadville's hard-rock industry. Their story of Leadville and Lake County stretches from the earliest explorations of the Upper Arkansas Valley to the beginnings of molybdenum mining in the twentieth century. A veritable encyclopedia of historical information, this massive two-volume, fully indexed reference work includes rare photographs from the Griswolds' personal collection and a bibliographic overview of Leadville's history by Colorado historian James E. Fell, Jr. Told with grace, humor, and authority, The History of Leadville and Lake County, Colorado is an invaluable reference tool for historians, genealogists, and any who seek a deeper understanding of the rich history of this mining town in Colorado's high country.

CHAPTER V GROWTH OF LEADVILLE We have already told that Leadville in the spring of l877. consisted of a handful of log houses scattered along California Gulch, below the Harrison Smelter and appropriately called Slab Town; also how in June, Charles Mater started the first store and how this was followed by others. The beginning of the new year l878 found the settlement without a name and without an organization. A petition had been drawn asking for a post office; this necessitated the adoption of a name; hence on the fourteenth of January, eighteen citizens in response to a call, met in a little wagon shop on the present corner of Pine and Chestnut Streets to take the preliminary steps for a town organization. There was a great discussion over a name. "Harrison," "Myers," "Agassiz," "Cerussite" "Carbonate," "Lead City," were suggested, discussed, objected to, and finally Leadville proposed by C. Crair.er and agreed upon. There are many stories of this meeting, varying in details, but the story as written here seems to be the most authentic. Governor Routt, by proclamation, called the first city election to be held January 26. H.A.W. Tabor was elected Mayor and C. E. Anderson, Clerk. At the regular election in April, succeeding, Mr. Tabor was reelected and J.C.Cramer was chosen clerk. Then in May, as we have already told, was discovered the "Little Pittsburgh" and this produced the Rush. Within a few lThis story is compounded from many varying authorities, but as told bare seems to be the most accurate. See Hall, Vol.11, P. 446. months Leadville had grown to such an extent that a transforma the tion into a oity of/second class was justified. Vf.H. James was elected Mayor and John w. Zollers, City Treasurer. M.J.Murphy, E.C.Kavanaugh, John...

Book excerpt: Between June, 1874 and October, 1881 the residents of what is now Chaffee County, Colorado endured a prolonged period of the most extreme violence ever to occur in Colorado. In 1874, the area was part of Lake County, thus the name ""The Lake County War."" During this bloody conflict it is said more than 100 men were murdered including a judge sitting in his courtroom. Vigilantes forced many families to leave their homes and property to avoid being murdered. This book, though fictionalized somewhat to make it more readable, tells the true story of what happened. It is the fifth in a five-novel series featuring Chancy Flint, a smart, tough, highly principled young cowboy who is chained lightening with a gun. He's not a gunfighter. He's the type of man gunfighters stay away from if they're smart.
