Lee, Mabel Barbee

Cripple Creek Days Mabel Barbee Lee - Garden City, New York Doubleday 1958 - 270 p




Up the long trail --
Windfall --
No life for a lady --
The house on Golden Avenue --
The race of the iron horses --
The Father of Beacon Hill --
Good-bye, little girl, good-bye --
The great fires --
The Brown Palace of Cripple Creek --
We take in the fight of the century --
Windy Joe's jack pot --
The second greatest day --
Finn's folly --
The divining rod makes good --
A fruitless pilgrimage --
Pity the poor millionaire --
The fateful year --
No minimum hours for death --
For John's girl --
The city of mines --
The beginning of a dream--
and the end --
The return.
