MINING ENGINEERS AND THE AMERICAN WEST: THE LACE BOOT BRIGADE 1849-1933 by Clark C. Spence; PUBLISHER: University of Idaho Press; a 1993 copyright;407 pages.

Though they were key figures in the development of the western mineral industry, the mining engineers of the early West have received too little attention. Drawing upon the careers of a number of individuals - some famous, some little known - Mr. Spence examines the professional mining engineer in terms of his education, life style, acual work, and impact upon the rugged environment beyond the Mississippi. He depicts the engineer's versatility in his several roles as manager of mines, consultant in the field and in the courtroom, and builder of financial empires, and traces the engineer's evolution from a generalist to a professional specialist. Mr. Spence's volume is at once technological and social history. The context is international as well as national, for the engineer moved in cosmopolitan circles, pursued his career on a global scale, and applied ideas and techniques from one area of the world to another.
