A Hole in the Ground with a Liar at the Top: Fraud and Deceit in the Golden Age of American Mining
Dan Plazak
There is something about the allure of hidden treasure that puts a glint in people’s eyes. By gathering such familiar stories as that of Nevada’s infamous Comstock Lode with a succession of lesser-known scandals, Dan Plazak provides an entertaining volume that investigates the history of mining frauds in the US from the Civil War to World War I.
