Old Dan the Mine Crooner of Utah Legend Emerges
The remarkable character known as Old Dan or Old Dak narrates his wild life from the 1870s Utah springs to mining camps. He recalls a deadly blizzard, buried gold dust, and a stubborn refusal to reveal his true name. He claims to have prospected a vast horn silver vein in Death Valley, though water spurred his search more than ore.
