The Bonanza King Myth: Western Mine Owners and the Remonetization of Silver

Allen Weinstein

Business History Review, 1968, vol. 42, issue 2, 195-218

Abstract: Were congressional demands for the remonetization of silver in the 1870's triggered and supported by large-scale mining interests seeking a guaranteed market for their product? Contemporaries and historians have generally answered “yes.” Professor Weinstein revises this traditional interpretation by analyzing the actual interrelationships between American silver producers and government coinage policies.
