{"value"=>"<p>Typescript of a diary kept by John Milton Copeland in the mining town of Georgetown, Colorado, from January 30 to December 27, 1876. The majority of the diary is made up of short entries on daily life, such as Copeland's wages and expenditures and the weather (he complains about dust, mud, and rain). Copeland writes that Georgetown had the \"stillness of death\" because of poor mining prospects and economic decline, as well as a number of deaths from pneumonia. Copeland makes several references to politics, including the voting count from the successful bid to grant Colorado statehood, the Silver Question, and disputes, both local and national, between Democrats and Republicans. He also mentions an incident where \"Italians engaged in a general shooting at Silver Plume.\".</p>"}
