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: Excerpt from The Cripple Creek Times: The Great Daily Newspaper of the World's Greatb Gold Camp Far hidden from the light of day, down in the under world, Down where the flag of blackest night forever is unfurled, Down where the great sun never casts its smiles of cheery light Upon the gloomy darkness of the subterranean night, There hardy men of valiant soul toil from the world apart To wrest the golden treasure from the earth's great rocky heart, Toil hard to feed the dear ones of the sweet domestic fold And feed the maw of commerce with its life-food - yellow gold. Down where the fiend of danger lurks in shadows dark and drear, Where death in its most hideous guise is ever lingering near, Where songs of birds can never come, where breezes never cool The cheeks of men who rob the earth with penetrating tool, Down where the close eternal heat of Nature's pulseless breast Puts well the strongest powers of endurance to the test, These brave, heroic labor-sons toil on with dauntless will, Cheered by the music of the pick, the hammer and the drill. The heroes of the battle field have won undying fame, High up on Honor's roster gleams full many an honored name, The great heart of the nation throbs with pride's sweet symphonies At deeds of our heroic tars upon the rolling seas, Yet day by day, night after night, these men with tireless zest Face unseen dangers, ever near, down in the earth's dark breast, And yet for them no cheers are heard, no cannons belch their praise, No fair hands place upon their brows the hero's well-earned bays. Sing of your martial heroes, O, ye poets, if you will, Your pages with the deathless deeds of naval warriors fill, Proclaim to all the world in song the valor of these men In most enraptured thoughts that ever flowed from poet's pen, But I will tune my simple song to humbler heroes who Do honor to the roughest garb as yours the nation's blue, To men upon whose swarthy brows the bay will never rest, Those honest, brave, heroic men, the miners of the West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 20, 1890, Bob Womack struck gold and staked his El Paso mining claim at Poverty Gulch, which eventually ignited the greatest gold rush in Colorado's history. During Bob's lifetime, over two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of gold was mined from the Cripple Creek Mining District, which Womack was instrumental in establishing. The story of the man and the gold discovery are told through first-hand accounts from not only Womack's quotes but other legendary figures such as Irving Howbert, Horace Bennett, Leslie Doyle Spell and William, and Ida Womack. Today, over one hundred and twenty-five years after that historic gold discovery, gold is still mined in the mining district of Cripple Creek. The legacy of Robert "Bob' Miller Womack will forever remain as the discoverer of "The Greatest Gold Camp On Earth."
