Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great Argo Project narrates the compelling history of the Argo Tunnel and Argo Mill as well as the biography of Samuel Newhouse who pioneered the project. The author explains in detail the construction of the 4-mile Argo Tunnel at Idaho Springs, Colorado, dug to access and drain mines in the Central City gold district. It discusses the underpinning need and impetus for the tunnel and illustrates how the tunnel was dug over a period of 17 years and the problems it encountered on the way. It also tells how the tunnel project came to a devastating end in 1943 by a huge flood from an overlying mine. The author then takes reader through the conception and operation of a large mill built at the portal as well as non-technical explanation of the various ways the mill recovered gold and silver. A thorough biography of Samuel Newhouse follows, starting with his early days in the Leadville silver rush, through gold mining in Silverton and Ouray, Colorado, and on to Denver where he schemed the need for the Argo Tunnel. Once he got the Argo project underway, Newhouse acquired and developed the famous Highland Boy Mine in Utah that evolved into the Bingham Canyon Mine in Utah, the world's largest and deepest copper mine. It also describes his role in developing the Flatiron Building, one of New York's most iconic landmarks. The quick-reading book concludes with Newhouse's slow downfall by obsession with real estate development in Salt Lake City prior to his death outside Paris in 1930.

Book excerpt: "Uncovers a centuries-long story of obsession that often included murder, gun fights, deadly accidents, overnight fortunes and even cannibalism. . . Neligh is a practiced writer whose style mixes history and modern realities seamlessly." -Colorado Country Life Gold! brings together the story of this metal’s glittering legacy in the Centennial State and the madness, murder, and mayhem that came along with it. The book examines the rich history of the miners and treasure hunters who came to face danger and hardships in the unforgiving Rocky Mountains. This story is unique in that it takes a look at the phenomenon of gold, the treasure hunters, both modern and historic, and brings them to life in a detailed and sharp narrative. Author Ian Neligh spent a year meeting with experts and enthusiasts, hearing their stories and trying to understand why it is they continue to do what they do—often in the face of extreme hardship. Modern-day gold miners profiled include Al Mosch, Bill Chapman, Ken Reid, and Chad Watkins. Gold! is the story of an unusual subculture on the rise in the mountains of Colorado fueled by a delicate balance of hope, greed, and loss. It tells the story of men mostly forgotten by the world as they go in endless pursuit of an impossible fortune. It follows miners working their small, dangerous gold claims in mines over a hundred years old, to modern-day prospectors trying to strike it rich and counterbalance the weight of a struggling economy. The book also examines if those who spend their lives in search of riches—ever actually strike it rich. This book will appeal to both history buffs as well as fans of modern-day reality shows like Gold Rush.
