foreword by Robert G. Athearn

Mining the American West Series

"[Smith's] contribution gains stature with the realization that better-known camps such as Virginia City and Tombstone were atypical while the Caribous of the West were probably the norm."
—Western Historical Quarterly

"A complicated tale with much mining and financial crossruffing, which Smith has mastered by his diligent, widespread research."
—Caroline Bancroft, The Colorado Magazine

Silver Saga is Duane A. Smith's classic study of this important silver mining town.
