Synopsis
Colorado Territory 1863: The Colorado gold rush was over. Mining was in a shambles. The Civil War still raged and Indian uprisings on the Great Plains made travel dangerous. Nevertheless, Nathaniel P. Hill was captivated by the rough frontier and tempted by William Gilpin’s invitation to investigate his land for gold and silver. Against his better judgment, Hill left his family and job as a chemistry professor at Brown University to work for the Colorado Territory’s former governor. The result was nothing short of a revolutionary boost to the fledgling Colorado mining industry and the rerouting of his and his family’s fortunes.

Review
“Hill’s Gold weaves the story of Nathaniel P. Hill’s quest to make mining viable in the Colorado Territory during the early 1860s through a thoroughly engaging fictional account of Hill’s challenges and adventures and their impact on his family. This is the Colorado West as many have never considered it during a moment in history that shaped the course of what would become the State of Colorado.”
Thomas J. Noel, PhD (Dr. Colorado, Professor of History and Director of Public History and Preservation, University of Colorado Denver and author of fifty history books.
“Gold seekers came—and left—the Colorado Territory. Entrepreneurs, using new science and technology, played a big part in enabling the territory to develop the resources and staying power to become a state. Hill’s Gold is a testament to their perseverance and courage.”
James E. Fell, Jr, PhD, Department of History, University of Colorado Denver and author of Ores to Metals: The Rocky Mountain Smelting Industry
