Elizabeth Jameson. All That Glitters: Class, Conflict, and Community in Cripple Creek. (The Working Class in American History.) Champaign: University of Illinois Press. 1998. Pp. xii, 367. Cloth $60.00, paper $23.95.

In this book, Elizabeth Jameson has produced one of the finest works ever concerning the early, tumultuous history of the Cripple Creek Mining District of Colorado. Bracketing her study with the victorious strike of the Western Federation of Miners (WFM) in 1894 and the WFM's disastrous strike of 1903–1904, the author examined the people of the district throughout the intervening decade in a manner that, heretofore, has not been done. Her focus on the sources of diverse "identities" within the district's working-class community closely attunes her work to the community studies in the New Labor history produced by David Emmons, Alan Dawley, Bruce Laurie, Sean Wilentz, and others. The result is a book that enormously expands our knowledge of the interrelational life of members of Cripple Creek's working class beyond that found in the earlier works of Melvyn Dubofsky, Vernon Jensen, Richard Lingenfelter, Ronald Brown, and others, most of which focused essentially on either the district's "labor wars," the origin of working-class radicalism, the Socialist question among union members, or the causative role of the state in the demise of the WFM. . . .
