Our book titled, Field Collecting Minerals in the Empire State: Stories of Modern Day North Country Miners has just made it in from the printers. It is a hard bound, 11 x 8 ˝ inch, 212 page collection of stories shared by myself and other important miners from over the last forty years. It focuses on the field collecting of the top mineral specimens from northern New York State and has 185 color images including some of the best crystalline specimens in both museums and private collections. The contributors include the well known such, as Dr. Steven Chamberlain and Dr. George and Susan Robinson, as well as more obscure miners who have contributed important finds of New York State minerals. Short biographies on each contributor are included at the end of the 12 chapters comprising this text. These are the true stories of mineral collecting as told by the miners with no holes barred. They are sure to entertain anyone who has an interest in mineral collecting.
Photographic work from several contributors including Jeff Scovil will give the reader a first hand look into private collections and museum store rooms to view some of the most aesthetic New York State minerals specimens in existence. Many of these specimens have never been seen by the public until now.
