Book Synopsis
This book includes the story of 240 of Colorado’s mining camps, with emphasis on the human side. The men who swarmed to the mountains to find precious metal came in successive waves from the late 1850s on, combing the gulches, scrambling over the passes and climbing the peaks.

Trade Review
“(Stampede to Timberline) is written with a warm and humorous first-person voice that conveys the sense of discovery that the author must have felt as she searched out and explored these fading mining towns. The book is peppered with human interest stories and anecdotes from former miners and other explorers who were still around for first-person interviews at the time Wolle was doing her research.” * Sn3 Modeler *
