Especially of yesteryear. After watching the Looney Tunes episode Gold Rush Daze, and between precious metal & gem prospecting, There Will Be Blood-type oil (wildcatting?) stuff, and I'm sure more that I dunno about, this seems like a great field to set some adventures in. And I'm hoping you guys will be able to point me towards all the best ones!
English-, French-, Russian-, and Spanish-language titles are welcome, and though I'd prefer fiction, but a great memoir or other non-fiction book is welcome.
