Aspen: The History of a Silver Mining Town, 1879 - 1893 - Paperback

by Malcolm J. Rohrbough (Author)

"[A] fascinating study in the microcosm of the birth, development, and decline of the western mining frontier. [Rohrbough] admirably places the changes within the context of half a century of continuous mining excitement that stretched from Sutter's Mill in California in 1848 to the Klondike in 1898."
