Bob Womack

I originally got the idea while reading Linda Wommack’s engaging book, Cripple Creek, Bob Womack, and the Greatest Gold Camp on Earth. This episode is a quick sketch to give a better understanding of the man who is arguable the most important in Cripple Creek’s history. To really get to know the man and the district growing around him, I highly suggest you read Ms. Wommack’s book.
