Additional Details



"This is a superficial sketch of conditions in the Colorado gold regions, which because its title is entered in Wagner-Camp so I suppose, has to go in any worth-while collection on the beginnings of Colorado"--Streeter. Streeter's humor belies the scarcity of this pamphlet; the last copy to come at aution appeared in Swann's 800th sale in October 1969.<
