Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the Mine: As Illustrated by the Great Comstock Lode of Nevada In accordance with the plan of the Story of the West Series for the presentation of the characteristic phases and types offered by the evolution of the real West - the great country lying for the most part beyond the Missouri - Mr. Shinn, out of a singularly complete personal knowledge, tells in this volume The Story of the Mine. Like Mr. Grinnell, in his Story of the Indian, Mr. Shinn does not aim at a comprehensive history, but he illuminates its salient points. There are allusions in his pages which afford glimpses into this romantic and varied history from the Toltec legends, the Aztec discoveries, the fierce treasure hunts of the Spaniards, the desultory quests of later Anglo-Saxons, the epoch-making event at Sutter´s Mill, the development of the great Comstock lode, and the feverish searching from the Sierra Madre to Alaska, which at one time and another has brought before the world the gold fields of Idaho or the blanket deposits of Tombstone, the mineral riches of Leadville or the wealth of Butte and Helena, the placers of California, or the ores of Cripple Creek.
