Thomas F. Walsh
In the first complete biography of Thomas Walsh, John Stewart recounts the tycoon's life from his birth in 1850 and his beginnings as a millwright and carpenter in Ireland to his tenacious, often fruitless mining work in the Black Hills and Colorado, which finally led to his discovery of an extremely rich vein of gold ore in the Imogene Basin. Walsh's Camp Bird Mine yielded more than $20 million worth of gold and other minerals in twenty years, and the mine's 1902 sale to British investors made Walsh very wealthy. Despite his fame and lavish lifestyle, Walsh is remembered as an unassuming and philanthropic man who treated his employees well. In addition to making many anonymous donations, he established the Walsh Library in Ouray and a library near his Irish birthplace, and helped establish a research fund for the study of radium and other rare western minerals at the Colorado School of Mines.
Once in a Green Summer
Once in a green summer in the west of Ireland there was a large family that grew up in a small house surrounded by fields. There was fresh water in the well, food to be harvested from the earth and not a plastic bag to be seen. There was love of the land and fear of the Lord, and there was a priest in the family. There was a father who cared for the straightness of his drills and the shape of his corn stacks, whose sons all left and who saw the old world crumble around him. There was a mother who left a well-to-do family to raise ten children in a small cottage and who gave them love beyond measure. It was a world where ghosts were real, where stories were as old as time, where imagination was more powerful than fact. It was a world we once lived in, now vanished forever. The author has put together a delightful collection of memories of that vanished world, seen through the eyes of a child who grew up in the shelter and certainty of its unchanging ways.
