Silver City, part of the Comstock Lode, was replete with innovative ideas which were put into action and practice in this new mining community.The Comstock Lode made a worldwide impact in the mid 1800's. The mines produced thousands of tons of ore each day keeping over 263 mills quite busy with the process of milling and crushing the ore, recovering gold and silver. Known as the richest place on earth, the Comstock produced over $700,000,000.000, which would be valued at over $19 billion in today's market.Functioning from 1860 to 1959, the Donovan Mill in Silver City, is the longest operating plant on the Comstock, is only one of four mills remaining today, and is the largest historic stamp mill in the nation.

The red earthenware industry in North Yarmouth, Maine was established in the 1790s, and for the next century, it flourished through a group of multigenerational family potteries. Many were located at Yarmouth Corner, which included production from at least five family businesses: Brooks, Cleaves, Corliss, Foster and Thomas.Much of this history had been forgotten due to 20th century development and a lack of published documentation. But thanks to historic preservation, archaeologists, museums and family records, the history of this industry has been reidentified. The industry in North Yarmouth was likely the largest red earthenware manufacturing center in the state, and connected to many well-known potters and red earthenwareindustries located elsewhere in New England. This book is the first of its kind to take an in-depth look at the various types of wares manufactured in North Yarmouth.
