  • Forged in silver;: The story of the Comstock Lode,

    Bob Young

    Hardcover (J. Messner, March 15, 1968)
    A history of the Comstock Lode, including its discovery, its role in the Civil War, the Silver Kings, the treachery and tragedy it caused, and its decline. The story of the Comstock Lode is an exciting tale of human courage and treachery, daring and disaster, wisdom and folly; of incredible fortunes made and lost during the fantastic quarter century of the Comstock's glory; and of the men who fought both nature and one another for the lion's share. The Comstock Lode was ignored by countless miners on their way to the gold fields of California. It was not until 1859 that prospectors stumbled onto the value of silver--and the rush began. This is the epic story of the greatest bonanza ever known--the Lode that supplied the silver that helped save the Union and win statehood for Nevada.
