For forty years they flooded Colorado--gold diggers, silver miners, outlaws, gamblers, and pioneers--looking for another Golden Fleece. Colorado comes alive in this classic overview of the gold and silver rushes, where fortunes were won and lost. Phyllis Flanders Dorset has re-created a lusty frontier scenario of one of the most exciting chapters in American history. Crammed with colorful characters and unforgettable incidents, The New Eldorado races through lawless, thrilling, turn-of-the-century Colorado with the fascination of a novel and fidelity of scholarly history. Phyllis Flanders Dorset is a freelance technical editor and the author of Historic Ships Afloat.
