The red gold, copper, started to flow from the underground veins in increasing streams, nourishing industry and economic growth. People flocked to this new Eldorado in the desert. These are the stories told by travellers, miners, a cleric, engineers, a transport rider, geologists, surveyors and a quirky magistrate - describing some incredibly harsh conditions of life and labour, the hazards of travel, the locals and their foibles, the conflicts, as well as some lighter moments of the half-century that followed."
