Description


  • New

  • Written by David Frampton

  • This book is about the rapid rise and demise of a Nevada gold-mining town, recounted in Siebert's narrative verse and enhanced by Frampton's colorful woodcuts. 

  • Each spread features a page of text framed by a detailed border opposite a full-page illustration. 

  • Frampton has creatively extended Siebert's rhythmic text by placing desert creatures, including coyotes, lizards, and scorpions, around pages describing the arrival of the first two prospectors in the area in 1904. 

  • A wonderful example of a well-crafted picture book.

  • Value: $16.00
