The Automobile Gold Rushes and Depression Era Mining
by Charles W. Miller

Author's comments: When my first book titled Stake Your Claim! appeared in 1992, I received several suggestions to expand chapter 11 into another full volume. The fact that full-fledged gold rushes occurred across the Western United States as late as the 1930s, and the relation of this event to the Great Depression was unknown even to many academic specialists in that field. Note that the first focus is on individulas who simply wnated to survive, but that politics and then industrial recovery were also major parts of this unexpected tale. Hardcover - 192 pages (April 1998)
