Inscribed to "Ray Austensen, / my good friend / and colleague. / Mark Wyman / Dec. 1979". "Although basic attitudes and expectations did carry over, the world of the hard-rock miner differed from that of the placer miner; this came as a consequence of the introduction of new technology and methods of finance, combined with varied patterns of labor-management relations on a frontier that was yielding rapidly to 'civilization' ."

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
