Download or read book Cripple Creek Days written by Mabel Barbee Lee and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1984-01-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mabel Barbee Lee has written a rousing tale of early days in Cripple Creek, Colorado. She speaks with authority because she arrived there as a child in 1892, and with wide-eyed wonder saw the whole place turn to gold. With his divining rod, Mabel's father tapped gold ore on Beacon Hill but missed becoming a millionaire by selling his claim short. Nonetheless, life was rich for young Mabel in a booming town with points of interest like Poverty Gulch, the Continental Hotel, and a fantastic house called Finn's Folly; with characters around like the promoter Windy Joe and (seen from a distance) the madam Pearl De Vere; with something always going on, whether a celebration or a disastrous fire or train wreck or a no-nonsense miners' strike. Mabel Lee's book brings back a time and place with affection. The foreword is by Lowell Thomas, who was her pupil when she was a young schoolmarm in Cripple Creek. "One of the most fascinating accounts of a gold rush town."-Chicago Sunday Tribune. "More entertaining by far than the run of fictional westerns, more authentic, of course, and a great deal more moving."-W. M. Teller, Saturday Review

Book excerpt: Jake Hannibal grew up back east and came of age just as the war between the states began. He quickly volunteered for service in the union army and soon found himself facing the confederate army at Fredricksburg, VA. Receiving a wound that would make him unfit for further service he decided to head west, to get as far away from the war torn east as possible. His one desire was to start his own cattle ranch, but Jake was in for a rude awakening. What he found were men who were willing to do anything, even murder to get a hold of what others had. Men who held nothing sacred, even life itself. Jake hires on to punch cattle for Tom Hicks, who teaches him what to expect in this rugged land. After leaving the Rocking H behind he strikes out on his own trying to find a place to begin building his dream. What follows is not what Jake had expected. He soon comes into contact with the most ruthless of all men. Men who carried six guns and knew how to handle them, men who would stop at nothing to get what he had struggled to build. Tom had tried to warn young Jake Hannibal and prepare him for life in this untamed land, but nothing Tom warned him about could compare to what Jake was about to experience. Death, violence, and greed soon reared it's ugly head. If he wanted to survive he had to become as hardened as they.
