A Portrait of Mining in America
"If you can't grow it, it's probably mined".
What does that mean? It means that if you take a look around you right now, and take away all the things made from mined resources, a lot of things would be gone, and life would be a lot different.
You wouldn't live the life you have now without the industries and products mining makes possible. "...no phones, no lights, no motor cars, not a single luxury. Like Robinson Caruso, as primitive as can be." So, how and why did it happen? And what did we go through to get here?This site journeys through the mines of America. Where fortunes were won and our lives were built. Come Rush for Riches with us!
