Nowhere better than in the history of its railroads is the
growth of the Old West revealed, and for Colorado the development
of the Denver and Rio Grande Western epitomizes the changes that
took place between 1870 and the present. Robert G. Athearn's
intimate knowledge of the West has enabled him to write a gripping
account of the famous narrow-gauge Denver and Rio Grande as it
inched its way south, then turned west into the Rockies. By f1883
it had joined with the Rio Grande Western to become Colorado's only
line across the mountains. The Dotsero Cutoff and the six-mile
Moffat Tunnel put Denver on a transcontinental line for the first
time. Twelve maps and fifty-five illustrations help tell the
story.
