520 |a "From 1861 until the Revolution of 1910, the men of the Batopilas Mining Company ruled the region using their wealth, armed might, and extensive connections. The technology, industrialism, and politics their interests brought to this remote community tied the Tarahumara, Yaqui, Mayo, and other peoples of the barrancas directly to the economies of the United States and China. Local society was revolutionized, and a dramatic tapestry of human interactions was created." "Based on voluminous mining company records, The Silver of the Sierra Madre exposes the mentality and methods of mine owners John Robinson and Alexander "Boss" Shepherd, vividly detailing their exploitation of the people and natural resources of Chihuahua. Hart aptly demonstrates the human and financial-losses resulting from President Porfirio Diaz's development programs, which relied on foreign investors, foreign managers, and foreign technology. This unprecedented work also provides a highly interesting ethnographic and social description of one of the least-known areas of Mexico. It is a tale of power and desperation, respect and arrogance, adventure and tragedy, and, ultimately, triumph and survival." --Book Jacket.
