TMI about mines

[Note: I've been reading a German translation.]

The story: In the mid 1800s, Irish-born American writer JRB sets out on several trips from California (a state since 1850) to the areas that would later become Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona. He writes about his journeys and about the lives of the people he runs into, and he seems to take a great interest in all sorts of mines.

This book is an okay read. There is certainly some of that "Wild West" attraction to it, and JRB can be a very funny and insightful writer. But generally, there was a bit too much information about the mining business in there, at least for my taste.

Maybe I was just expecting cowboys and indians?

A 6/10.
