I'm pleased to share my new book is coming in March of 2025. The Last Miner is a captivating memoir chronicling the final days of mining exploration in Utah’s legendary Little Cottonwood Canyon during the 1950s. Through the eyes of Dick Fluehe, the last living miner to traverse these haunted, silver-laden tunnels, readers are immersed in a forgotten world beneath the internationally renowned Alta and Snowbird ski areas. With a knowledge as deep as the mines themselves, Dick’s humorous and witty tales are of collapsed shafts, gloriously jeweled stopes, and colorful personalities, such as “Swingin’ Door,” “Slick,” and “The Bull,” who lived and died pursuing ore. It is the equivalent of floating the mighty Mississippi with Mark Twain as your personal guide. Pre ordered signed copies are available through The King's English: https://lnkd.in/g262PEBM Details regarding speaking events and signings in and around Salt Lake City with myself and Dick are forthcoming.
