Mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of The Gold Mines of Gilpin County Colorado. Unavailable since 1876, this publication was originally compiled by the Register Steam Printing House of Central City, Colorado. This publication offers a rare glimpse at the gold mining history and early mines of Gilpin County, Colorado from their first discovery in the 1850s up to the flush years of the mid 1870s. Of particular interest is the history of the discovery of gold in Gilpin County and details about the men who made those first strikes. Special focus is given to the early gold mines and first mining districts of the area, many of which are not detailed in other books on Colorados gold mining history. Also included is some interesting advertising from early merchants and companies that supported the miners during Gilpin Countys gold rush, as well as insights into local civic groups and other organizations that played an important role in the lives of most Gilpin County miners. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As such, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
