Images of the San Juans (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Over 250 rare historical photographs from the private collection of Ruth and Marvin Gregory with illuminating and historical narratives are included in this well-researched look at the history of the San Juan area

Step back in time and see how the prospectors, miners, merchants, investors, and families settled the mining towns in the gold and silver-rich San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. Venture into the mines with prospectors, ride the railroads along their painfully carved out railbeds, and share the catastrophes and celebrations of towns as the settlements are laid out, swept away by snowy avalanches or changing economies, then revived and begun again. Here is a true story of the awe-inspiring San Juan Mountains and its hardy people which you don't want to miss
