The Ghost Towns and Mining Camps of Colorado
By Muriel Sibell Wolle

This book includes the story of 240 of Colorado’s mining camps, with emphasis on the human side.

Their story is full of adventurous chances, lucky strikes, boom conditions, reckless spending, banditry, claim jumping, railroad wars and labor troubles.The
