Program Description

Event Details

Join Ron Brown as he continues his series on lost cities.  In the mountains of Bolivia Spanish colonizers stumbled across a mountain of silver that made the kings and queens of Spain the richest people in the world. Silver coins from Potosi were used from China to the American 13 colonies and from Africa to India. In New York City, Louis Comfort Tiffany fashioned raw silver into glorious art works for the wealthy of Fifth Avenue.
