Hydraulic Mining in California: A Tarnished Legacy SYNOPSIS
Neither condemning the industry nor to apologizing for it, Greenland chronicles hydraulic mining in California during the gold rush of the middle 19th century. He does admit that most of the research material available, such as government mining publications, was produced by people who wanted to continue and expand the industry. He includes a glossary without pronunciation guides.
