Book Synopsis Colorado and the Silver Crash by : John F. Steinle
Download or read book Colorado and the Silver Crash written by John F. Steinle and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A catastrophic depression engulfed Colorado in 1893. The government's decision to adopt the gold standard and stop buying silver hit the mining industry like a cave-in. Unemployment reached 90 percent in Leadville, a city built on silver. Strikes by union miners in Cripple Creek and Leadville led to destruction and death. Political parties split along battle lines of gold versus silver. By 1898, the country had begun to recover, but silver mining was never the same. Using firsthand commentary and more than one hundred historic photographs, John Steinle skillfully commemorates the story of Coloradans trapped in the unprecedented social, economic and political conflict of America's first great depression.

Download or read book North Fork Waterstop written by Joseph T. O'Connor and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A railroad (actually 3 railroads in the day) ran through it, but no reasonably passable roads served its people; the land was too high for any crop except hay, but beneath the land's surface lay hundreds of million dollars of gold and silver ores; businesses and entrepreneurs flourished and perished, but the law was notably absent in its towns and camps. Thousands of folk flocked to Leadville, Colorado, and to nearby towns to strike it rich or to prey on their neighbors. This was the setting for the central Colorado mining districts of the silver (and gold) mining era in the late nineteenth century. Here are some tales set in the Leadville and South Park area during that time that draw on the constraints of the time and the raw nature of the place to imagine and describe the fortunes and troubles of some of its real and fictional citizens. In accord with the dates listed by each title, the historical context is close to that published in newspapers of the time and subsequent histories; individual plots all involve fictional characters acting in this context.

Book excerpt: InThe Trail of Gold and Silver, historian Duane A. Smith details Colorado's mining saga--a story that stretches from the beginning of the gold and silver mining rush in the mid-nineteenth century into the twenty-first century. Gold and silver mining laid the foundation for Colorado's economy, and 1859 marked the beginning of a fever for these precious metals. Mining changed the state and its people forever, affecting settlement, territorial status, statehood, publicity, development, investment, economy, jobs both in and outside the industry, transportation, tourism, advances in mining and smelting technology, and urbanization. Moreover, the first generation of Colorado mining brought a fascinating collection of people and a new era to the region. Written in a lively manner by one of Colorado's preeminent historians, this book honors the 2009 sesquicentennial of Colorado's gold rush. Smith's narrative will appeal to anybody with an interest in the state's fascinating mining history over the past 150 years.

Book Synopsis Mountains of Silver by : P. David Smith
Download or read book Mountains of Silver written by P. David Smith and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little over a century ago, the Red Mountain Mining District in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was the scene of a "silver rush" with an output of precious metals second in Colorado only to that of Leadville. In a period of less than twenty-five years, more than thirty million dollars in silver, lead, zinc, copper, and gold were taken from the rich deposits in the mines along Red Mountain Divide -- an amount roughly equivalent to a quarter billion of today's dollars. The histories of the communities that sprang into being with these mines, the railroads constructed to service them, and the men and women who lived, worked and died in them, are the threads deftly woven into the richly textured story of Mountains of Silver. It is a colorful and varied tapestry that depicts the lives of prospectors who made the first rich strikes; the land promoters, speculators, and road-and-railroad builders who capitalized on the frenzied rush to the area; and the motley collection of miners, lawyers, merchants, prostitutes, saloonkeepers, and freighters who attempted to profit from the boom.
