Description
Quicksilver: Terlingua and the Chisos Mining Company"This is the fascinating story of Howard E. Perry and his Terlingua fiefdom on the edge of Big Bend National Park. Ragsdale's Quicksilver: Terlingua and the Chisos Mining Company is perhaps the best book written on the Big Bend country." William H. Goetzmann Before Terlingua achieved some notoriety as the site of the annual World Championship Chili Cookoff, the ghost town was the bustling center of the mercury mining industry in the United States.
"This is the fascinating story of Howard E. Perry and his Terlingua fiefdom on the edge of Big Bend National Park. Ragsdale's Quicksilver: Terlingua and the Chisos Mining Company is perhaps the best book written on the Big Bend country."--William H. Goetzmann Before Terlingua achieved some notoriety as the site of the annual World Championship Chili Cookoff, the ghost town was the bustling center of the mercury mining industry in the United States. This study, available again in a redesigned paperback edition, examines the company town and its feudal lord, Chicago industrialist Howard E. Perry, who built a hilltop mansion overlooking the dry domain. Based on many primary sources, Quicksilver is solidly researched and historically sound. Color and authenticity come from the author's interviews with such individuals as Robert Cartledge, who for nearly three decades worked as store clerk, purchasing agent, and finally general manager of the Chisos Mining Company in Terlingua.Binding Type: Paperback

Good quality
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I like the red on the inside it was also comfortable and felt good quality with it not being an incredibly thin itchy fabric. Though I wouldn’t necessarily say it is stretchy it was a bit stiff

Wife liked it on me.
Size: Large, Color: Olive Green
A good value, and most especially my wife loves it. A bit long in the sleeves, but then, I'm 5'-7" so that was expected.
