Description
This is a memoir of Jim Canfield, who was born in the 1860s and lived through the Civil War and the Comstock Lode. Canfield tells the story of how the secessionists, in an attempt to gain money for the Confederacy, were willing to do anything, including taking advantage of the miners who were working in the mines.
One-hundred-year-old Jim Canfield was the living legend of Storey County. This first installment of his memoirs transports readers back to the 1860s, when the horrors of the Civil War and the fabulous bonanza silver mines of the Comstock Lode were on a collision course. Ruthless secessionists were anxious to fill the coffers of the Confederacy--at any cost.
