Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nevada’s Comstock Mining District has been the focus of legend since it first burst into international prominence in the late 1850s, and its principal settlement, Virginia City, endures in the popular mind as the West’s quintessential mining camp. But the authentic history of the Comstock is far more complex and interesting than its colorful image. Contrary to legend, Virginia City spent only its first few years as a ramshackle mining camp. The mining boom quickly turned it into a thriving urban center, at its peak one of the largest cities west of the Mississippi, replete with most of the amenities of any large city of its time. The lure of the area’s fabulous wealth attracted a remarkably heterogenous population from around the world and offered employment to dozens of trades and thousands of people, both men and women, representing every one of the region’s diverse ethnic groups. Ronald James’s brilliant account of the Comstock’s long and eventful history—the first comprehensive study of the subject in over a century—examines every aspect of the region and employs information gleaned from hundreds of written sources, interviews, archeological research, computer analysis, folklore, gender studies, physical geography, and architectural and art history, as well as over fifty rare photographs, many of them previously unpublished.

Download or read book Mining Archaeology in the American West written by Donald L. Hardesty and published by University of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2010-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mining played a prominent role in the shaping and settling of the American West in the nineteenth century. Following the discovery of the famous Comstock Lode in Nevada in 1859, mining became increasingly industrialized, changing mining technology, society, and culture throughout the world. In the wake of these changes Nevada became an important mining region, with new people and technologies further altering the ways mining was pursued and miners interacted. Historical archaeology offers a research strategy for understanding mining and miners that integrates three independent sources of information about the past: physical remains, documents, and oral testimony. Mining Archaeology in the American West explores mining culture and practices through the microcosm of Nevada’s mining frontier. The history of mining technology, the social and cultural history of miners and mining societies, and the landscapes and environments of mining are topics examined in this multifocus research. In this updated and expanded edition of the seminal work on mining in Nevada, Donald Hardesty brings scholarship up to the present with important new research and insights into how people, technology, culture, architecture, and landscape changed during this period of mining history.
Download or read book The Big Bonanza written by Dan De Quille and published by . This book was released on 1947 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dan De Quille arrived on the Comstock in 1859, the same year the first silver discoveries were made, and remained for almost forty years watching its history unfold. As a senior newspaper reporter, De Quille took a young Samuel Clemen's under his wing at the Territorial Enterprise (where the name Mark Twain first appeared in print), and the two fed off each other's acerbic humor and established a tremendous following of readers. De Quille's reporting of Comstock activities and humorous stories were often repeated in other newspapers throughout the old west, and some of his fabricated hoax tales obtained international fame. Being the most prominent newspaper reporter at the time in Virginia City, De Quille had his finger on the pulse of the region, and had direct access to the mines and people, making him eminently qualified as the authoritative author for a history book about the Comstock silver mining boom.
