More Than Just Eye Candy
Goldie Griffith was more than just eye candy. She was part of an outdoor show called Buffalo Bill’s Wild West and she was famous for her wrestling and boxing skills. What’s more, she had a set of other skills which were not so feminine but more masculine. These abilities helped make her become a star.
Mining Was A Huge Part
Mining was a key part of the Old West. It was an extremely large part of the economy, providing a lot of jobs for people. The mine in this photo is found in Virginia City, Nevada. A city’s population was proportional to the amount of resources that were available in the mine. Thus, during the time the materials mined in Virginia City were at a high, and so was the population living there.
