California Gold: The Beginning of Mining in the Far… di Paul Rodman
What makes this Yale Professor Rodman's book so classic is the reference footnotes to 19th century newspapers and other documents, showing superb scholarship in the post-WWII period when it was written. This isn't just a romantic history, the details of mining methods and economics over years, often presented in charts, is excellent. The index in back is complete.

This is a must have in the California History or Western Mining History Library.… (altro)
