 H670 BLOWN TO
BITS IN THE MINE: A HISTORY OF MINING AND EXPLOSIVES IN THE UNITED STATES
by Eric Twitty, 2000.
Hard cover with dust cover.
BLOWN TO
BITS IN THE MINE charts the evolution of the use of explosives
for mining and quarrying in North America from the Industrial Revolution
into the twentieth century. The art of blasting was of prime importance to
mining because explosives enabled miners to move through solid rock as no
other technology could. This book presents a detailed look at the whole
process of using explosives, from drilling blast-holes to setting off the
charges, with an emphasis on technology, material culture, and the impacts
to the mine as a work environment. Everyone with a penchant for mining
history will enjoy this book.

H643 MOUNTAINS OF SILVER: LIFE IN COLORADO’S RED
MOUNTAIN MINING DISTRICT by P. David Smith, 2000.
A little over a century ago, the Red Mountain Mining District in the San
Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was the scene of a “silver rush”
with a resulting output of precious metals in Colorado second only to that
of Leadville. MOUNTAINS OF SILVER is a colorful and varied
tapestry that depicts the lives of the prospectors who made the first rich
strikes; the land promoters, speculators, and road-and railroad-builders
who capitalized on the frenzied rush to the area; and the motley
collection of miners, lawyers, merchants, prostitutes, saloonkeepers, and
freighters who attempted to profit from the boom.
