[Peter Tillman]

I had this out from the library & read a chapter or 3. I found it confusing and lost interest. So, probably not for me.

This book was really actually good. GG Rice was a supposed crook, mining stock swindler, etc. His name comes up with surprising frequency in western mining history-always negative. But this book is his rebuttal against the accusations, and in my mind sounds solid. I wish I would have read this directly after A Hole in the Ground With a Liar On Top, as I had planned...would like to compare the two more, but it has been too long since reading that and this ended up being a drawn out read that I unfortunately didn't take notes on. But I will say this man deserves more investigation, and his reputation deserves a hung jury at the moment....

Without some prior knowledge on stock exchange, and history of rural Nevada this is a challenging memoir. Despite any of my personal shortcomings this was fascinating and very well written. It felt special reading Rice's perspective of the growing mining scene and experience the excitement and anxieties felt by him in the early 1900's and all the more mysterious knowing I will never know how reliable a narrator he was.
