Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Volume has blue covers with gold and black lettering on the spine. 231 pages. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality Brodart cover. In this volume are some of the best articles and stories of the American West miner, as originally written for and published in the short-lived news sheets of boom towns and mining camps. A few of the authors-such as Mark Twain, Bret Harte, and Joaquin Miller- are acknowledged American literary giants. Others, of not inconsiderable talent, have been strangely forgotten for the last century. Whoever its author, every contribution speaks an authentic word about the western miner at work, or at play, living a tough life as it came, in the best humor possible. A very nice copy.
