MINING
Mining the west was done in a number of methods from panning to underground and later open pit mining for gold and silver. Where to find it, how to find it, and extraction methods are addressed in many different books. Mostly directed toward mining in Nevada, our selection of mining material runs from new to out of print. Biographys of miners, life in the mines and life looking for minerals, gold and silver. Stories of the mining world are fascinating and informative. We have a large selection of mining oriented books. |
