After the boom in Tombstone and Jerome, Arizona

"After the Boom in Tombstone and Jerome, Arizona, describes in vivid detail the decline of two major mining boomtowns. It also addresses significant questions about the nature of capital and settlement in the mining West, and about the characteristics of town building and survival. This is a major contribution to the history and interpretation of the American West, meticulously researched, astutely argued, and extremely readable."--Jacket.
