SOURDOUGHS, CLAIM JUMPERS & DRY GULCHERS

SOURDOUGHS, CLAIM JUMPERS & DRY GULCHERS:

Fifty of the Grittiest Moments in the History of Frontier Prospecting

These 50 moments are truly gritty, sometimes humorous, often shocking and brutal, and always all-too-true. Sourdoughs, Claim Jumpers & Dry Gulchers offers half-a-hundred tales of hard-bitten sourdoughs, petty bandits, outright outlaws, guilt-free gunmen, and murderous money-grubbers as they scrabbled to gain the lands, foodstuffs, and fortunes of wide-eyed greenhorns, gullible and trusting tenderfoots, and slow-on-the-draw gold panners.
