Description
Albert Lamarre never imagined that one day he would stare down the barrel of a shotgun pointed at him by a Texas rancher's daughter. Yet, there he was-in the middle of nowhere-held captive by a woman who meant business. Simply put, Lamarre was in this predicament because of his desire to learn more about a rocky outcrop. After all, that is what geologists do.
In his fascinating narrative, Lamarre shares details of his adventures during his thirteen-year career as a minerals exploration geologist. As he vividly recounts his first exposure to the geologic wonders of the western United States, the unforgettable characters he met along the way, and the beautiful landscapes in which he worked, Lamarre reveals how he grew from a wet-behind-the ears college graduate to a respected geologist who contributed to America's natural resource base. From having his office bombed to being abandoned in the darkness of an underground mine to coming face-to-face with a rattlesnake, Lamarre leads others on an entertaining journey through a variety of experiences that highlight his rewarding career and life.
Mountains, Minerals, and Me shares the adventures and perils of a young geologist who learns about himself while exploring the geologic wonders of the western United States.
