520    Leadville explores the clash between a small mining town 
       high up in Colorado's Rocky Mountains and the federal 
       government, determined to clean up the toxic mess left 
       from a hundred years of mining. Set amidst the historic 
       streets and buildings reflecting the town's past glory as 
       one of the richest nineteenth-century mining districts in 
       North America-a history populated with characters such as 
       Meyer Guggenheim and the Titanic's unsinkable Molly Brown-
       -the Leadville Gillian Klucas portrays became a 
       battleground in the 1980s and 1990s. The tale begins one 
       morning in 1983 when a flood of toxic mining waste washes 
       past the Smith Ranch and down the headwaters of the 
       Arkansas River. The event presages a Superfund cleanup 
       campaign that draws national attention, sparks local 
       protest, and triggers the intervention of an antagonistic 
       state representative. Just as the Environmental Protection
       Agency comes to town telling the community that their 
       celebrated mining heritage is a public health and 
       environmental hazard, the mining industry abandons 
       Leadville, throwing the town into economic chaos. Klucas 
       unveils the events that resulted from this volatile 
       formula and the remarkable turnaround that followed. The 
       author's well-grounded perspective, in-depth interviews 
       with participants, and keen insights make Leadville a 
       portrait vivid with characterizations that could fill the 
       pages of a novel. But because this is a real story with 
       real people, It shows the reality behind the Western 
       mystique and explores the challenges to local autonomy and
       community identity brought by a struggle for economic 
       survival, unyielding government policy, and long-term 
       health consequences induced by extractive-industry 
       practices.
