The western Mojave Desert region of Randsburg, Red Mountain, Johannesburg, and Atolia takes its rightful place in the storied history of major Old West mining camps in this volume by geology professor Dee Trent. Unlike the single boom-and-bust cycle experienced by most mining areas in the West, Randsburg and environs experienced five mining booms from 1893 into the 21st century with riches from the earth that included gold, silver, and tungsten. Abundant historic maps and photos help readers and high desert adventurers understand the science and technology of a fascinating era in yet another contribution to the story of the land and its people. |
