Money Mountain, first published in 1953, is the story of the fantastically rich Cripple Creek gold mines of Colorado. Detailed are the discovery of the lode and the first mining claims, the development of the town, the incredible wealth generated by the gold, the inevitable labor strife, disasters such as fires and floods; all well-researched and presented in an entertaining style. Included are 13 pages of maps and photographs. Marshall Sprague (1909-1994) authored a number of books and articles on the American West.
