Reviews

Grossman's engaging study is thoroughly researched and stands as a fine contribution to the limited amount of modern literature available on mining in the west... a new glimpse into life in the southwest borderlands. --The Tombstone Epitaph

Grossman's account of the professionalization of the mining engineer is a fascinating addition to the existing literature on the professionalization of work cultures in late 19th Century America...The book is well-researched and well-written and will be a worthy addition to the history of mining, the history of the American West, and the history of economic enterprise, and especially as the latter pertains to risk assessment. --Carlos Schwantes, University of Missouri-St. Louis, coauthor of The West the Railroads Made
