Book excerpt: GOLD! The one-word headline in the July 3, 1893 edition of the Fulford Signal newspaper summed up the very reason for the existence of this mining boom camp in the rugged mountains southeast of Eagle, Colorado. Although Fulford's booms were early and short-lived, interest in the one-time mining camp has continued for decades. Over the years, the stories of adventure and tragedy (including a tale of a lost gold mine) kept people intrigued. Author Richard Perske is the first writer to spend countless hours researching old newspapers and historical files to present the true story of Fulford.
