I’ve had this book since I lived in Colorado in the 70’s. Heading back to Breckenridge in the high peaks of Summit County in a few weeks so reviewed it. It’s pretty detailed and self published but gives good background on how the area was settled, the challenges the miners faced and the towns that grew out of their explorations.
