false 3935413 1 During the last half of the nineteenth century, miners and prospectors flocked to the Rocky Mountains to find their fortunes. In the wake of this boom, small towns sprouted up wherever the precious ore could be found. Some of these small towns, born of the gold rush, still exist today. This, the third in a series about small-town life, once again turns the commonplace activities of townsfolk into a fascinating account of Americana. Exquisite etchings and spare text are carefully interwoven to create a vivid portrait of life in a mountain town, from snow that comes all year round to Fourth of July celebrations and football games in the fall. Children and adults alike will marvel at the incredibly detailed, panoramic hand-colored etchings that communicate change and the passing of time on each page. 3980971 28 3 2000 Mountain Town (Small Town U.S.A.) total:2|5:1|4:1| 2 9 3 0 4 0 false false Mon Mar 02 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 22:47:54 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 22:49:54 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 25 17:55:28 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 17:55:28 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sat Sep 20 12:49:21 -0700 2008 Sat Sep 20 12:49:21 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=3935413
