Grand Encampment Copper Towns by Alan H. Patera

At the end of the 19th century, a copper discovery made the remote Sierra Madre Mountains of southern Wyoming the scene of a small rush that resulted in the establishment of nine towns, of which Encampment is today’s only survivor.

This entertaining book tells the story of the mining activities and the towns that blossomed and died.  This book contains numerous photographs, both 19th century ones and others taken recently.  People and places are indexed.
