Pioneer Mining Man Has Interesting Past
Daggett historical reminiscence recounts the life of Frank Denning born 1850 New York who ran away as a lad to drive mule teams on canals then served in the Civil War before pursuing mining across Arizona Nevada and California. He helped found the Hackberry and Ibex mines, profited from St Louis and Silver Bow mines, later spent years between Daggett and Los Angeles while tracking stock ventures and frontier experiences. Henry W. Britt recalls his friendship and frontier hours with admiration.
