light wear to book and jacket, 5 cm closed tear and crease to front panel. Authors inscription to half title page dated 3-05. Map eps. Mining in California and Nevada during the early 20th century by the daughter of mining engineer, Hale C. Tognoni. From the Western Propector and Miner magazine: "...an amazing book...The Tognoni family history was the basis for this highly readable volume. It is a story, or rather many stories, of the early American mining scene as told through the eyes of actual participants, but with an important difference. Author Boudway pulls no punches about personal quirks of the Tognoni ancestral chain. Where there were chinks in the armor, she does not flinch or kick them under the rug."
