Hardrock Man - Whispers from the Cripple Creek District Underground
Raised in the historic Cripple Creek – Victor Gold Mining District of Colorado, author Sylece Andromeda spent her childhood fascinated by old timer tales that brought to life the glory days of “The World’s Greatest Gold Camp.” As the years went by, and those olden-day miners saw their generation passing on, they asked Andromeda to record what she could of a history that was fast disappearing. After countless interviews with this special group of men and gathering oral histories done when the author was barely in kindergarten, this captivating work, Hardrock Man – Whispers from the Cripple Creek District Underground, fully delivers the character, flavor, and essence of those hardrock miners who thrived on and survived the dangerous work of digging for gold . . . underground.
