In a brief history of the use of gold
the booklet tells of the bloody yet
romantic place the metal has played:
in the life of mankind as far -back
as history reveals. “The object of
man’s stupidity from the earliest
times, gold has been, perhaps, more
influential than any other metal in
shaping the course of human history,””
Says the introductory paragraph.
“The lure of gold has drawn men to
the most remote corners of the earth
and has thus paved the way for set-
tlement and civilization in new coun-
tries. It has been a fruitful source of
wars and of many other of the stren-
uous activities, both good and evil, of
the human race.”
