The Golden Reefs - An Account of the Great Days of Quartz Mining at Reefton, Waiuta and the Lyell
used
Author(s): Darrell Latham
Second hand.
A depiction of an age of colourful characters, and the many ways they made money on the West Coast goldfields; searching implacably for hidden reefs, claim-jumping, or endless litigation. This is the story of the Victorian-era wrecked machines whose providence had them shipped from Melbourne to Wesport, and dragged piecemeal by riverboat and sledge to the out of the way fields.
VG/Fair. Crease to spine, some bruising of board corners. DJ worn and chipped, with some losses.
Second copy is near fine and is the 1992 second edition.
