Summary:

Even though they were key figures in the development of western mining, mining engineers have received little attention until publication of Dr. Clark Spence's volume. At once a technological and social history, Dr. Spence examines the professional mining engineer in terms of his education, lifestyle, actual work, and impact on the environment beyond the Mississippi.
