This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her Past Threatened Her Hope For The Future... For decades, Copper Creek had been shrouded in legend. Was the friendly Missouri town named for the stream coursing along its eastern border? Or did its identity originate from nearby copper deposits hidden long ago by the mysterious miner? Amy Kent knows the truth. But after a twenty-year absence, setting the record straight about her father's hidden bonanza is the last thing on Amy's mind. Rather, the chance to punish the men responsible for their bitter exile from Copper Creek has finally given her the courage to return home and change the town's future forever. In the spring of 1872, Amy rides into Copper Creek with anger in her heart and deceit upon her lips. In search of Michael Randolph, she is denied a reunion by his absence on business and decides to wait for his return. Meanwhile, she faces mounting complications from old friends and new residents alike. But perhaps the most disturbing obstacle to her plans for revenge is the town's handsome doctor, Luke Owens. Torn between a private vow and her growing admiration for the rural physician, Amy's dilemma is further complicated by a longstanding mystery linked to her father's closest friend. But in order to unravel the secrets of the past and seize her chance at retribution, she'll have to choose between love and hate. Her decision will irrevocably alter her life by revealing that the mysterious miner's true legacy is more than just a lost mine of rich copper ore. A prequel to the Copper Creek Series of novels, The Mysterious Miner's Legacy, goes back to Copper Creek's early beginning to tell a tale of heartbreak, faith, courage, and redemption. With insight into the lives of pivotal characters from the original series and introductions to new members of the town, this novel adds more depth and color to an already compelling family saga.

Book Synopsis Frisco and the Ten Mile Canyon by : Sandra F. Mather
Download or read book Frisco and the Ten Mile Canyon written by Sandra F. Mather and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frisco and the Ten Mile Canyon tells the story of the once-thriving railroad town that served as the gateway to the towns and mines of the Ten Mile Canyon. Beginning in 1879, mines produced silver, gold, and other minerals while experiencing the usual boom and bust cycles. With the slow, painful death of mining and the curtailing of rail service, Frisco and nearby towns suffered. While the towns in the canyon became memories, Frisco experienced a rebirth and revitalization when the recreational landscape and economy replaced that of the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Book Synopsis Money Mountain by : Marshall Sprague
Download or read book Money Mountain written by Marshall Sprague and published by Bison Books. This book was released on 1953 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "No novel could contain more dramatic events than the history of Cripple Creek."--Wyoming Library Roundup "This is the fascinating story of the great Cripple Creek gold mines. But it is not told with fantasy: here are the plain facts of one of the most unbelievable incidents of our history, of a place in the Colorado mountains where a man threw his hat into the air, dug where it fell, and struck a rich vein of ore. . . . It is a fascinating story and the author has told it well."--Paul Engle, Chicago Tribune "Money Mountain mines as rich a vein of human interest, of solid accomplishment combined with picturesque skullduggery, as one is likely to find in all the annals of the western frontier. . . . Virtually every page bears evidence of patient researching through old newspaper files, court records, pioneer reminiscences and other obscure sources likely to throw light on events in and about the town during the fifteen years [1892-1907] when it was riding high. . . . Highly rewarding reading to anyone curious to know what manner of life was lived in the wide-open mining towns of the West."--Oscar Lewis, New York Herald Tribune Books "A roaring story of a roaring town. . . . It's an authentic contribution to the matter of the American West and dandy reading."--Saturday Review "Cripple Creek has found its historian. Money Mountain is sure to stand for years as a valid picture of that bizarre camp."--New York Times Book Review

Book Synopsis Swift's Silver Mines and Related Appalachian Treasures by : Michael S. Steely
Download or read book Swift's Silver Mines and Related Appalachian Treasures written by Michael S. Steely and published by The Overmountain Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the myths, legends, and stories, one man’s hidden treasure stands above the rest. Jonathan Swift’s lost silver mines have been woven into legend and passed from one generation to the next for more than 230 years. Beginning with an introduction by the late Michael Paul Henson, nationally known treasure expert, this comprehensive volume explores the legend of this enigmatic character who mined the mountains of Appalachia from 1761 until 1769. Unable to remove his entire cache of silver when he left the region, Swift hid much of his treasure in the mines. When he returned in the late 1700s to retrieve the secret caches, he was unable to locate them. During this time, copies of a journal kept by Swift (giving directions and clues to the hidden stashes) were sold and/or given away. Steely has collected and compared legends from across the region, found maps and old journals, and compiled all the information in this interesting, organized book for treasure hunters and historians. Drawing upon treasure lore from the Shawnee, Cherokee, Spanish, French, and Melungeons, this work spans Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio, North Carolina, and Alabama.

Book Synopsis The Ditches of Nevada City by : Dom Lindars
Download or read book The Ditches of Nevada City written by Dom Lindars and published by Nevada City History. This book was released on 2023-04-07 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the history of Nevada City, California, through the eyes of the men that built it. For its first 100 years, everything in Nevada City revolved around gold. But this is not another book about finding gold. To get gold, you needed water — to pan for it, to wash it in a sluice, to blast away a hillside with an immense water cannon, or to turn the water wheel of a quartz-ore stamp mill. This book instead asks: How did they get the water? It reveals the engineering marvels that brought water to Nevada City’s dry hills from tens of miles away. But what if all the water in every ravine, creek and valley around Nevada City was controlled by just three men? Well, for three decades, every miner, farmer or business could only buy water from the powerful South Yuba Canal Company. What would happen if you got into an argument with them? Or couldn’t afford to pay their water bill? Or even dared to compete with them? The book traces the ingenuity and hard work of the town’s miners and ditch builders, highlighting in detail the history and origins of various local neighborhoods, including Nevada City itself, Hirschman's Pond, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Deer Creek, Scotts Flat, Manzanita Diggings, Gold Flat and various mining camps along Washington Ridge. This vivid portrayal follows the area’s evolution from the chaos of thousands of miners scratching out a living in clusters of muddy tents to a genteel town with hotels, stores, banks, theaters and libraries. What began as a search to uncover a sprawling network of old ditches, turned into a collection of never-before-told stories of the gold miners, the ruthless and greedy ditch company, and the rivals that it crushed. The domineering ditch company later enabled the next generation of monopoly to provide electrical power. The story of PG&E also started in Nevada City. This, in turn, led to the now more forward-looking stewardship of the Nevada Irrigation District. The unique format of this book blends beautiful archival images with more than 35 in-depth biographies of key figures in Nevada City. This 884 page hardcover book includes over 600 photos and illustrations, including 200 historic photographs and 75 hand-crafted maps based on modern lidar technology that reveal the locations of the old mining ditches, flumes, mines and tunnels.
