Mining, Mayhem and Other Carbonate Excitements (Tales From a Silver Camp Called Leadville) - Tapa blanda

A bewitching collection of tales about the lesser-known places and personalities that made Leadville the state's premier mining town in the 1880s. It is a tribute to the thousands of unknown dead that lie unmarked and unlamented in its cemeteries. Rags-to-riches immigrants, daughters of ill-fame and miners waltz across its pages with local ghosts, fallen peace officers and Lizzie Brown, Leadville's paragon of voodoo.
