Silver-Boom


 * <  ||< The Colorado Silver Boom ||
 * <  ||< The Colorado Silver Boom began in about 1877 and lasted 25 years until about 1902. The people involved with this event were Horace A. Tabor a miner, "Baby" Doe Tabor Horace's wife, and Molly Brown. Horace A. Tabor first found silver while working as a miner. The Silver Boom occured because Horace told his friends that he had found gold and then they told their friends and so on. People from everywhere came to Colorado for silver. He did this to draw attention to Colorado and himself. The Colorado Silver Boom occured in many cities such as Leadville, Pitkin, Gunnison, and Chaffee County which are all located in Colorado. Therefore, because of this Colorado has a lot of silver to trade and sell. ||<   ||
