Comstock Lode
It was just a godforsaken mountainside, but no place on earth  was richer in silver. For a bustling, enterprising America, this was  the great bonanza. The dreamers, the restless, the builders, the  vultures -- they were lured by the glittering promise of instant riches  and survived the brutal hardships of a mining camp to raise a legendary  boom town. But some sought more than wealth. Val Trevallion, a loner  haunted by a violent past. Grita Redaway, a radiantly beautiful actress  driven by an unfulfilled need. Two fiercely independent spirits,  together they rose above the challenges of the Comstock to stake a bold  claim on the future.--This text refers to theMass Market Paperbackedition.
