Description: Lynx Creek is situated in an historic mining region near Prescott, Arizona, between Walker and Poland in the heart of the highly mineralized Bradshaw Mountains, with the creek itself a tributary of the Hassayampa River, a veritable synonym for gold. First discovered and mined by the Walker Party in 1863, the district has been worked over again and again by gold seekers, and still a favorite weekend spot for mineralogists and nugget-hunters. Lynx Creek was and is the heart of the Arizona mountain and mineral belt. and florid history. Potter's treatment is one of critical but moderate narration, with greatest attention of course paid to the claims, mines, mills, and smelters which once dotted the area, and on the other hand to reminiscences of old-timers which are found nowhere else. Alvina Potter researched the history of the Lynx Creek valley and its settlers and miners to produce this relatively uncommon title. Many illustrations and historic photos are included. The second edition, somewhat harder to find that the first edition, added additional text based on continuing research and a comprehensive index. 215 pages.
