This is the story of Ironstone Mountain, later known as Mount Morgan, the greatest single mountain of gold ever discovered. Mount Morgan was a familiar word on the Stock Exchanges of the world in the early 1900s. Profit from the mine flowed as far as the great oilfields of Persia and indirectly assisted the victory of the Allies in World War One. This is a riveting story of capital and labour, intrigue, betrayal and fortunes won and lost. viii., 163 p., 8 p. of plates : maps, ports. ; 22 cm. #0919 (Enclosure: Letter from publisher.)
