Goldfield, Nevada. They found bonanza gold and the rush was on.
They flooded in, looking for a chance. There was Big Sam Jones, a slippery horse trader who thought he could fleece suckers. There were Maude Arbuckle, a determined prospector, and her shiftless husband Harry; There was Delia Favor, another type of gold digger. And Hannibal Dash, a Wisconsin geology professor who abandoned his academic life and family for some adventure. Some got rich; some failed, and some found out what sort of people they were.
This is the second of Mr. Wheeler's celebrated novels about western mining towns. The first was Cashbox. Then came Goldfield, Sierra: A Novel of the California Gold Rush; Second Lives, about Gilded Age Denver; Sun Mountain, the story of the fabled Comstock Lode, and The Richest Hill on Earth, about the copper kings of Butte.
