New Eldorado

By Phyllis Flanders Dorset

Book Overview

For 40 years they flooded Colorado - gold diggers, silver miners, outlaws, gamblers and pioneers - looking for Golden Fleece. Colorado comes alive in this classic overview of the gold and silver rushes, where fortunes were won and lost. Phyllis Flanders Dorset has re-created a lusty frontier scenario of one of the most exciting chapters in American history. Crammed with colourful characters and unforgettable incidents, it races through lawless, thrilling, turn-of-the-century Colorado with the fascination of a novel and fidelity of scholarly history.
