Twitty documented the historic significance of the mine sites in the Las Animas District for the Bureau of Land Management. The mining history consultant/author of other books on mining traces the history and legacy of this district amid the San Juan Mountains, from being a place for overflow prospectors from the California Gold Rush to its development as one of the most successful silver mining districts in the U.S. and eventual decline. The book includes maps and period photographs.
