Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining publication on the gold mining history of Utah. First published in 1896, it has been unavailable since those days and sheds important light on the early mines and miners of Pioneer Utah, as well as the minerals which they won from the earth by laborious hard physical labor and sheer determination. Included are rare insights into the early mining history of Utah, as well details on hundreds of gold, silver and copper mines.
