Reseña del libro "Historic Landscapes Summit County, Colorado, Ghost Towns and Townsites Volume 1: Breckenridge and Fort Mary B (en Inglés)"
Historic Landscapes, Summit County, Colorado is about the historic towns, townsites, and ghost towns of Summit County, including those found from Hoosier Pass north to the confluence of the Blue and Swan rivers, west to the Ten Mile Range, and east to the headwaters of the north and south forks of the Swan River. Using information taken from first-hand accounts, mining district logbooks, and newspapers, the authors tell the story of the more than 25 historic towns that supported the mining economy in the greater Breckenridge area. Only the town of Breckenridge, the focus of this volume, survived.You will follow the first prospectors filing their claims, establishing mining districts to govern their operations, the building of Fort Mary B to protect them from perceived threats from the native Utes as well as provide a place for the first merchants to sell their wares, and the platting of the new town of Breckenridge by capitalists from Denver. As you follow the growth of the town from 1859 until 1899, you will meet men and women who were critical to its development. This volume contains over 190 graphics, including photographs, maps, and illustrations.
