Leading mining historian Kerby Jackson introduces us to a classic mining work in this important re-issue of "The Gold Fields of the Southern Applachians." Unavailable since 1895, this important publication was originally published by the US Department of Interior and has been unavailable for nearly 120 years.

Also included are details on the placer gold deposits of the region. The gold fields of the Georgian Belt, Carolinian Belt and the South Mountain Mining District of North Carolina are all treated in descriptive detail.
