At the beginning of his classic self-help book Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill tells the story of R. U. Darby and his uncle, who traveled from Maryland to Colorado to strike it rich in the gold mines.

The junk man hired an engineer to look at the maps and, after digging another three feet, struck one of the richest gold veins inColoradohistory.
