SILVER
IN THE SIERRA MADRE
The Story of the Santa Cruz Mine By Peter Flawn
and
Philip W. Bechley
This personal memoir includes the decisions and actions of the Dougherty family of Beeville, Texas, the de facto owners of the mine properties, and others closely associated with the project both from Texas and Mexico. Beckley's tragic death, either by accident or by a bandit, eventually closed the project.
The author also provides a history of the Santa Cruz mine from 1908 until 1966, as told through reports and letters from a succession of mine managers.
