Textul de pe ultima copertă
"The moment of brilliance of Idaho's Wood River mining towns spanned roughly the decade of the 1880s. Silver-lead ore discoveries led to the rise of Idaho centers such as Bellevue, Hailey, Bullion, Broadford, Ketchum, and Muldoon, but the Wood River district has never been given its due. Noted mining historian Clark Spence fills the gap by focusing on the mining history of the region and capturing the flavor and activities of the early camps and communities and the individuals who helped establish them."--BOOK JACKET. "For today's residents and visitors, this work offers a window on the early, raucous mining past which helped the region flourish and which left the distinctive legacy still felt today."--BOOK JACKET.
