Awfully horribly dull reading
Good Information and fun to read.
If you enjoy Old West history, mining or geology, or if you just want to know how the desert rats found gold and silver, then this is your book. Lots of detail on the geology of placer and lode mining, techniques used by the Spaniards and desert rats and plenty of colorful history. While the geology can get to be a bit much for those of us who aren't geologists, the history makes up for it.

Why two stars instead of just one? That's a darned good question.
