 Welcome!
I am
H. Court Young, author, publisher and geologist. My
mission is to promote awareness through the written word.
My books, eBooks, articles and blogs are written to educate, inform
and raise your level of awareness about timely issues in today's world.
Articles, Blogs, Books and eBooks
As you are aware, terrorism,
water and energy are frequent topics on TV
and radio news and in the newspaper. These are critical issues in
America and the world today.
Having worked in both water and
energy for the last 20 years, I have
watched as the world population has increased while these resources
diminish. The current rise in the price of oil is an excellent
example. My World Collapse or
New Eden, Your World in 2011 ebook gives some insight into the next
few years.
As a geologist, I have always been fascinated with mountains and
mining. I spent much of my life in the Colorado Rocky mountains and
always have been intrigued with mining history.
Writing and Publishing
As an author and publisher, I enjoy hearing and reading the stories of
others. We are all unique, with different perspectives on life and our
world. We learn about ourselves by reading about and understanding
others.
I encourage everyone to spend as much time as they can telling their
stories in journals, letters, blogs, articles, books and eBooks. Doing
this leaves a part of themselves to others and ultimately future
generations.
H. Court Young's Summer Reading Special
 The Orphan Boy, A Love Affair with Mining is a book about a man who pursued his dream of being a miner. An
educated man, a graduate geologist, this man orchestrated the reopening
of a mine, after World War II, that was first opened in the 1880s. He
followed a dream pursued by few at that time and even fewer today.
The mine is located along the Continental Divide at 12,000 feet in one
of Colorado’s richest mining districts. You will read about this man’s
life as a young lad, as a college graduate, a World War II pilot and
then you follow his journey to the Orphan Boy.
You will view never before published family photos, and read about his
difficulties in locating and reopening the mine. As one reader notes,
“there are details in this book about this mine and mining, at the time
of the reopening and 60 years earlier, which make it a very interesting
read.”
You will enjoy “living the experience” of the crews struggling to reopen
the Orphan Boy. There are explanations of the
challenges required to extract and transport the lead-silver-zinc ore
from the mine to the smelter. In the end, several unexpected events
involving the Orphan Boy, makes for a very interesting twist-of-fate for
the man and his dream.
As a bonus,
this book includes a DVD with maps, historical documents and photographs
about the mine, the area and the Montezuma Mining District. This
spectacular area is a four-wheelers, ATVers, hikers and bicycler’s
dream, which the author is happy to share.
But, most important, the author wants to share the story of his father,
Herbert Thompson Young. He was an unusual and interesting man who
impacted lives by pursuing his dream and destiny in a very unique way.
The Orphan Boy,
A Love Affair with Mining is ideal for the the historian,
the sportsperson, geologist and the miner at heart!
