'Timberline Tailings' is made up of material--letters and interviews--of the hardy men and women who met the challenges of the gold and silver mining camps of Colorado with stamina, ingenuity, and a keen love of life.
Story of the pioneering prospectors and the towns that grew up around the mines in the American west. The remains of the towns are all that is left of the waves of people who followed the lure of gold and silver mines.
