Summary
"This memoir recounts the author's adventures and misadventures working underground in 1970s New Mexico, "Uranium Capital of the World." Descriptions of tools, methods and hazards of uranium mining, with character sketches and anecdotes, provide a glimpse of a bygone way of life--drilling, blasting and mucking the sandstone of the Grants mineral belt in the San Juan Basin"--
