Description
The Orphan Boy, A Love Affair with Mining is about a mine the author’s Dad reopened, after World War II, which was first mined in the 1880’s during the glory days of Colorado’s mining history. This mine is located along the Continental Divide, surrounded by 14,000 foot peaks, in one of Colorado’s richest mining districts. The history of the Orphan Boy mine is a remarkable and unique segment of Colorado’s and our nation’s past. It is a story of how one man, a member of the “Greatest Generation,” started to make his mark on history by pursuing his passion. It demonstrates how his generation not only created wealth, but made the United States a world power. “This is a very, very good story; well written and from the author’s own family experiences. It is also from the heart. A truly good read.” William James Dunn, Mining Engineer “A great tribute to Court’s Dad and to Colorado mining history. An interesting read and remembrance of our mining roots.” Richard Kunter, Consulting Metallurgical Engineer This book is for the geologist, the historian, the sportperson and the miner at heart!
