At a New Mining Camp: Creede of Colorado, 1892
AT A NEW MINING CAMP: Creede of Colorado, 1892.
by Richard Harding Davis.
Today Creede is a "ghost" town in southwestern Colorado (the
italics because today's residents don't like being called ghosts), a remnant of its
former size and glory. But author Davis reports it when activity there seemed circus-like.
At the1892 time Creede was growing rapidly to a population of 8,000. The town was
rip-roaring, and this account helps us understand the bustle as well as the unbounded hope
and optimism at the site of a new mining boom. Reprinted from 19th century originals.;
Period illustrations, 32 little pages. See sample pages, illustrations.
