Summary

In the heart of the American Southwest lies Arizona, a state shaped by a rich history of mining. From the early prospectors who sought their fortune in the rugged mountains to the modern mines that extract copper, gold, and other valuable minerals, mining has played a vital role in Arizona's development.

In this captivating book, Bob Lenon, a lifelong Arizonan and mining engineer, takes readers on a journey through the history of mining in the Copper State. Drawing from his own experiences and extensive knowledge of the industry, Bob paints a vivid picture of the challenges, triumphs, and enduring legacy of mining in Arizona.

Through Bob's eyes, we witness the transformation of Arizona from a frontier territory to a modern state fueled by the wealth of its mineral resources. We learn about the different methods of mining, from open-pit to underground operations, and the environmental and economic impacts of the industry. Bob also introduces us to the miners themselves, the men and women who work tirelessly to extract the earth's riches.

More than just a historical account, Bob's book is a personal narrative that captures the essence of life in a mining town. He shares stories of the camaraderie and resilience of miners, the challenges they faced, and the impact of mining on their families and communities. His insights offer a unique perspective on the human side of mining, shedding light on the lives of those who work in this demanding field.

Bob's book is also a call for responsible resource development and environmental stewardship. He emphasizes the importance of balancing economic growth with the need to protect Arizona's natural heritage. His insights are timely and thought-provoking, offering a roadmap for the future of mining in the state and beyond.

With its rich historical detail, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking insights, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in Arizona history, the mining industry, or the life of a remarkable man who dedicated his life to extracting the riches from the earth and enriching the lives of his fellow Arizonans.

    In The Ethics of Rhetoric, Richard M. Weaver evaluates the ethical and cultural role of rhetoric and its reflection on society. Weaver draws upon classical notions of rhetoric in Plato's Phaedrus, and he examines the effectiveness and implications of the manipulation of language in the works of Lincoln, Burke, and Milton. In this collection of essays, Weaver examines how different types of rhetoric persuade, their varying levels of effectiveness and credibility, and how one's manner of argumentation and style of persuasion are indicative of character. Ultimately, Weaver argues that the cultivation of pure language creates pure people. Initially published in 1953, The Ethics of Rhetoric remains timeless in its evaluation of rhetoric's role in society. 
Richard M. Weaver (1910-1963) an esteemed scholar, humanist, cultural critic, and political philosopher, revolutionized conservativism of the mid-twentieth century. Weaver's original scholarship produced groundbreaking insight on human nature and society.

    "The entire cowboy-outlaw era, which reached its climax in 1897 and ended around 1905, comes vividly alive in this kaleidoscopic work ... countless other instances of robbing, stealing and retribution, are woven splendidly into this rousing saga of the closing years of the outlaw epoch of the American West." —Wall Street JournalFrom multiple New York Times bestselling author Tom Clavin comes the thrilling true story of the most infamous hangout for bandits, thieves and murderers of all time—and the lawmen tasked with rooting them out.Robbers Roost, Brown’s Hole, and Hole-in-the-Wall were three hideouts that collectively were known to outlaws as “Bandit Heaven.” During the 1880s and ‘90s these remote locations in Wyoming and Utah harbored hundreds of train and bank robbers, horse and cattle thieves, the occasional killer, and anyone else with a price on his head.Clavin's Bandit Heaven is the entertaining story of these tumultuous times and the colorful characters who rode the Outlaw Trail through the frigid mountain passes and throat-parching deserts that connected the three hideouts—well-guarded enclaves no sensible lawman would enter. There are the “star” residents like gregarious Butch Cassidy and his mostly silent sidekick the Sundance Kid, and an array of fascinating supporting players like the cold-blooded Kid Curry, and “Black Jack” Ketchum (who had the dubious distinction of being decapitated during a hanging), among others. Most of the hard-riding action takes place in the mid- to late-1890s when Bandit Heaven came to be one of the few safe places left as the law closed in on the dwindling number of active outlaws. Most were dead by the beginning of the 20th century, gunned down by a galvanized law-enforcement system seeking rewards and glory. Ultimately, only Cassidy and Sundance escaped . . . to meet their fate 6000 miles away, becoming legends when they died in a fusillade of lead.Bandit Heaven is a thrilling listen, filled with action, indelible characters, and some poignance for the true end of the Wild West outlaw.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
