The Lure of Gold: A Photographic Tour of Colorado Gold and Silver Mining Relics

This collection of over 200 photographs by Bob Case, taken by Bob Case over 50 summers, depicts the abandoned mines, cabins and mining relics in and around the gold mining towns of Cripple Creek, Leadville, Central City, Victor, Fairplay, and many others. As the remnants of Colorado’s rich history of gold and silver mining vanish, Bob’s powerful photographs remain a beautiful and poignant record of the hard and enterprising lives of a tough and resourceful people.
