I have met Carole Simpson and Chris Morgan.
I have intensively researched the life of Sam,his parents and siblings and children.He was a lucky prospector,but not a good businessman.

Great article! You mention on your bio that you are happy to make available photographs of Sam Pearce. I’d love to acquire one or two of both the young Sam and the Ivanhoe mine. Maybe you could get back to me and we could discuss?
regards,
Verity

I’m sure it will help to get the full story of the Boulder-Kalgoorlie discovery out there. Thanks also for giving me some useful sources of info into the area and mining generally.
