Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This book explores Garnet during its heyday and describes the people who stand out in its history. Garnet was hardly the most successful gold mining town in Montana, nor was it one of the first. In fact, it was one of the last gold towns to become a ghost town. Garnet's story can hardly be told alone and hinges on the path of gold discovery in the State of Montana. As a result, this book is a brief account of Montana's gold rush, followed by a more detailed exploration of the Garnet story"--Page 1. |
