GOLD STRIKE IN HELL
By
Hell is GOLD, the wind and snow of Nevada's Pogonip country where Jed, an old prospector, is bitten hard by his dream of discovering gold. The man who tells his story becomes his partner in an attempt to find and take a fortune out of the ground: there is a snowbound winter and then the long months of dynamiting and tunneling and just surviving. Lots of the solid bedrock interest and excitement is in the blasting- not boring- detail, and, when finally assayed, this stands up well as masculine adventure.
