The men who came to Oro City in Colorado came for the gold. Young lay preacher Jonathan Romig and Mormon Heber Arnold led two bands of veterans from the Union and Confederate Armies into the valley of the Blue River -- two hostile camps uneasily united in the search for gold. Conflict was everywhere as men fought the elements and each other. "Shining Mountains is the story of the people who came on foot, behind wagons, and over treacherous mountain passes in search of the gold that very few every found.
