2nd Printing, with revisions. Paperbound 11 inches tall by 8.5 inches wide 446 pages. Notes, bibliography, index. Description: Fictional account, but based on historical research. The explanation by the author states: ''The following story is based on a foundation of twenty years' research. Its primary objective is to rebuild, repeople and reactivate the forgotten mining camp of Rabbit Creek in the 1850s, a camp later renamed La Porte. It also relates the lives of Rufus Swett and Charlotte Holcomb and many others who lived there during the turbulent mining years. The basic facts regarding the prominent characters are founded on and verified by records. Some of these records are sketchy and have been elaborated on. These main facts act as stepping stones through the pages, but often there are intervening gaps in the sequence of the story. These blank spaces have bee filled in with extra scenes and conversations with are merely educated guesses.'' Originally published in 1999.
