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
Download or read book Speakeasy in the Gold Camp written by Sylece Andromeda and published by . This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gold! Boom town to ghost town, from over 80,000 people to 1,000. Gone are the days of women flirting with the men running the trains, hoping they'll toss her some coal for her woodstove. No more are the days of men traipsing to the bar after another harrowing shift mining gold hundreds, or thousands, of feet underground while those who remained above wondered and worried what was happening far below their feet. Told in their own words, these are the stories of the "topside," and those who lived in The World's Greatest Gold Camp during the time of its decline. No one was exempt from the tragedy and elation of a life where the influence of gold cast an all encompassing shadow. None escaped the harsh lifestyle that accompanied living at high elevation in the Colorado mountains. This book preserves treasured history from the American West and the hard, but loved, way of life as remembered by those who lived it. A complimentary book to Hardrock Man - Whispers of the Cripple Creek District Underground, which details first-hand accounts of mining underground. Hardrock Man is published by Western Reflections Publishing.

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."
