Title: A Beautiful Mine: Women Prospectors of the Old West

Author: Chris Enss
Year: 2008
Series: Gem Guides Book Company
Format: 148 pages



"During the gold rush, women worked alongside men panning and digging for gold and silver in the mountains of Colorado, California, and all the way up to Alaska. While many books have been written about the frontier women who ran brothels and boarding houses in mining towns, none have told the true stories of ladies who labored as hard as men out in the mines. A wonderful collection of true Americana, this book includes archival photographs of lady miners as well as the mines and boomtowns."
