This compact book tells an interesting story of the rise and fall of a miner's fortunes in the last half of the nineteenth century. Set in the history of Colorado's mining heyday and the lost glitter of silver on a national scale, the tale of H. A. W. Tabor and his two wives, Augusta and Baby Doe, has all the elements of grand opera. |
