A lifetime of sweat and blood goes into a hardrock mine like the Sweet Betsy. But a lifetime in the Arizona Territory can be awfully short. Bill Croft was one of those miners who'd been crippled when a mine cable snapped. Now there was just Bill and his daughter Drusilla, and the only mining he was doing was the illegal variety. Bill Croft knew mining and had recommended a mine to some wealthy business interests. There would be all hell to pay if the mine didn't produce--and all hell to pay if it did!

"A hard rock mine like the Sweet Betsy is murder for accidents"--a quote from one of the characters in the book, and pretty much sums up the action. Shipley Freeman had a mine and he believed someone was "poaching" from it. Finding silver was hard enough, and required luck. He knew it took guts to keep it too. Arizona Territory is the setting for this great novel by Frank Bonham first published in 1958.
