It is May, 1878. In a small mountain stream on the southwest side of Pikes Peak, local cowboy Bob Womack discovers a rich sample of gold ore. Twelve years later, in 1890, the Cripple Creek Gold Rush began. This discovery would eventually make twenty-seven millionaires, save the United States' economy after the Silver Crash of 1893, and create one of the wildest boom towns in the history of the American West.

The story of Cripple Creek is the story of fortunes made and lost. It is the story of spirited hard rock miners, sporting ladies, and pioneer families living through the exciting years of the great Cripple Creek Gold Rush.
