1865. · New York
by Whitney, Joel P.
New York: D. Van Nostrand, 1865.. 107pp. Original front wrapper bound into modern calf, spine gilt. Two faint library stamps and small manuscript notation on front wrapper recto, bookplate on wrapper verso. Very good. A discussion of most of the major mining areas in Colorado and the types of bullion being extracted from them. "The pages contained in this pamphlet have been hastily written and compiled, and are not given as the result of that care and research, due to the vast and unrivalled mineral resources of Colorado, but for the primary purpose of attracting the attention of Capitalists to the inviting Silver fields of the Cordillera Ranges, whose merits are destined at an early day to be the subject of more extended and critical observation." Almost the last entry in Wagner-Camp; this pamphlet is quite scarce. WAGNER-CAMP 427:1. HOWES W388.
