The Cripple Creek District, on the back of Pikes Peak in central Colorado, first found fame through Bob Womack, the cowboy who publicized his knowledge of gold in the high country and drew thousands to the area. Gold fever allowed the region to flourish, while strikes, fires, and economic hardships threatened the district's survival. The dwindling population's fortitude, plus innovative ideas to boost the economy, carried the city from a struggling gold-miners' paradise to a favored tourist spot.

This is one of the most all around informative books I have found on the Cripple Creek Mining District. Own both the book and the kindle book. Is you are interested in learning about this area, this is the book for you.

I am a native of Colorado and found the book fascinating as my uncle lost his life in one of the mines. I have been looking for more history on Cripple Creek and this book was great.

Collins is easy to read, accurate, and fabulously informative!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019

The author's years of thorough research, plus her talent as a writer, deliver an extremely accurate and informative history of the Cripple Creek District. With expertise and compassion, she delivered a realistic view of life as it was -- challenging, unimaginable, exciting, and to be treasured. I have re-read the book several times, and highly recommend her work. She gave me a perspective of the life of my grandparents who lived in Cripple Creek during the "last Great Gold Rush." I highly recommend her works! I only wish the narrator for the audio book had been more animated in his reading it and personally prefer the printed copy as a reference book.

Great local history book!

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2006

A neat book giving details of the early area difficult to find elsewhere. Jan has a great writing style that's informative and easy to read and her book contains many vintage photos with views I have not previously seen. I just wish there was more! Nice meeting you at the Monarch!
