Publisher Synopsis
These two volumes are designed to comprehensively list the over 25,000 books, articles, maps, and other items related to the history of western mining. They succeed admirably...There is no other such bibliography for western mining history and culture. These volumes are thus recommended first for any library with a significant Western Americana component, and second for libraries that serve geologists and others with particular interests in western ore, mineral, and other resources. American Reference Books Annual It is a formidable collection and it is hoped that the major research libraries will acquire the book...for those wishing to explore the principal sources that shed light on this history, this book is a valuable resource. The Canadian Historical Review These two volumes may not contain everything you ever wanted to know about the mining west, but they come close. The breath of information is far greater than any other work of this nature. As a guide to sources and a spur to tackling any number of unanswered questions and open questions-including an all-encompassing history of mining in the American and Canadian West-Lingenfelter's work is unequaled. Technology and Culture A massive bibliography and guide to the history and literature of the American West...Highly recommended. CHOICE Read more...
