Welcome to Western Mining History. My goal for this site is to document the historical, social, and political landscape of the American West through a study of its mining heritage. This is a huge and ongoing project. I currently have over 2000 images in the database and expect to add many more in the near future. I hope you find this site as informative and enjoyable to view as it was for me to create.
Town profiles have been added for Berlin, Nevada; Goodsprings, Nevada; Ione, Nevada; Pioche, Nevada.
Town profiles have been added for Silver City, Idaho; Cokedale, Colorado; Durango, Colorado; Rico, Colorado; Trinidad, Colorado; Victor, Colorado.
Today marks the launch of the completely redesigned and greatly improved Western Mining History.
I felt that it would be useful to explain what blogs are and how the differ from articles at Western Mining History
