Inscribed to C.W. Murdaugh, Portsmouth, Virginia. George Hearst (September 3, 1820 – February 28, 1891) was an American businessman, miner, and politician. After growing up on a small farm in Missouri, he founded many mining operations, and is known for developing along with Lloyd Tevis the famous Homestake Mine in the late 1870s in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Hearst also teamed with Marcus Daly on the Ontario silver mine at Park City and the famous Anaconda mine at Butte.
