Silver City — David Norman

Wildcatters, adventurers, dreamers, schemers and thieves: Everyone rushed to Virginia City to cash in on the greatest silver strike in the world.

The men, daring and determined, dreamed of new-found dynasties and damned anyone who stood in their way. The women, who were as strong as their men, were either wives and mothers looking for security or ladies of the evening hunting for riches.

And together, their hard and passionate group battled for power and wealth, creating the wildest, lustiest, most lawless town in the west - a booming Silver City - where people fought, schemed, drank, sinned and became an unforgettable legend in the taming of America's blazing frontier.
