The Price of Silver

Silver City, Utah is an abandon boom town of the early 19th Century which made it's mark in the western America mining boom because of the vast amounts of silver and other precious metals pulled from its mines. Jesse Knight (affectionately known as "Uncle Jesse") was the Mormon entrepreneur who took an inspired chance on Silver City. His inspired chance paid off handsomely. Because of Jesse Knight's innovation, inspiration, hard work and investment; he put Silver City on the map among the most productive silver producing towns in America. As with all good things, they must come to an end. In this documentary, we follow the rise and fall of this once great mining town in our quest to answer the underlying question regarding The Price of Silver.
