  • Notes: "This contemporary account of the beginnings of the great Leadville mining camp is not only complete but lightened up as well with details of night life of the camp, thumb nail sketches of prospectors and so on. Most of the text seems to have been written in April, 1879 with a few pages at the end written in May. Leadville was Colorado's greatest mining camp and the scene of one of the last of the spectacular mining booms in the continental United States"--Streeter Sale 2192 [this copy]; Eberstadt 121:80 [this copy]; Howes B619.
