The Bonanza King book cover
The Bonanza King
John Mackay and the Battle over the Greatest Riches in the American West
Gregory Crouch - 2018-06-19
Calificación de Goodreads
This biography tells the story of John W. Mackay, a self-made Irish immigrant who rose from poverty to control Nevada's Comstock Lode. Overcoming thousands of rivals, Mackay took on the pernicious "Bank Ring" monopoly to claim the legendary "Big Bonanza," a stupendously rich body of gold and silver ore discovered beneath the streets of Virginia City. Gregory Crouch's well-researched and well-written book is a dazzling tour de force, featuring great period photographs and maps, and is a riveting history of Virginia City, Nevada, the Comstock Lode, and America itself.

A great book: In 1872, right before he hit the big bonanza, Mackay warned his wife that the Consolidated Virginia could easily consume all of their money. His wife asked what would happen if it did. Mackay replied, “We’ll go broke and start over.”      fuente
