Eric L. Clements is associate professor of history at Southeast Missouri State University and editor of the Mining History Journal. His areas of interest include both the mining and maritime history of the American West. He has published articles and given presentations on mine health and safety reform, the Western Federation of Miners, the nature and meanings of ghost towns, and the social and physical consequences of legalized casino gambling in three former mining towns in Colorado.
"Clements addresses his question, 'What happens after the boom, '
with detail and affection. The result is an inclusive and
informative portrait of two western resource towns that outlived
their resources." --The Journal of Arizona History
"Clements writes with flair and has a penchant for working
authentic bits of rustic western vernacular into his text." --The
Journal of American History
"By consciously choosing and carefully researching a subject that
has received little attention from historians, Clements has made an
important contribution to the literature." --Utah Historical
Quarterly
