A young mining engineer, Raphael Pumpelly, visited the mountains of Tucson, Arizona in 1860. Raphael Pumpelly graduated from the Royal Mining Academy in Germany at the age of twenty-three years old and was ready to set for an adventure of a lifetime.
Penned by author C. Gilbert Storm, Raphael Pumpelly’s Arizona: The Frontier Adventures of a Young Mining Engineer narrates the life of a famous American geologist. Raphael Pumpelly learned the hard way in Arizona, from mining silver in a dangerous place and surviving the outskirts of a lawless land. Along his journey, Pumpelly met miners, ranchers, soldiers, bandits, Mexican revolutionaries, and raiding Apaches. Soon after, Pumpelly left the life of a miner and became a renowned geologist, a pioneering researcher in geoarchaeology, a consultant on geology and mining to foreign officials, and a respected professor of geology and mining at Harvard.
Aside from his many achievements, Pumpelly was also known as a famous storyteller. Pumpelly’s detailed writings depicting the people and events that shaped the Grand Canyon State became a valuable asset for historians of the land of Arizona. Storms’ novel is essential for anyone with an interest in American history.
