Synopsis
Over 300 photographs demonstrate how Boulder, Colorado has developed, changed, and been preserved over the past century. A chapter on the work of early area photographers is followed by a tour through an evolving cityscape of log cabins and western false-fronted buildings that becomes a flourishing business district built on the successes of local mining and agricultural interests. The original city is examined with a look at the influences that shaped growth, including the characters, events, religion, culture and businesses of the city; the concluding discussion is of post-WWII expansion of the city. Fine b&w photographs. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Review
"A comprehensive, chronological, architectural perspective of Boulder, including photography worthy of inclusion in university history classes. . . . the softbound book presents a meaningful overview of how Boulder has grown. . . . Boulder: Evolution of a City is as gripping a page-turner as anything you'll find on the mystery shelves. For leisure readers or for history buffs, Pettem's work is genuine, relevant and absorbing."
―Boulder Daily Camera
"A magical time machine that leads us on a tour of bustling Boulder, Colorado, and then whisks us back in time to wander the same streets again when they were new and the West was young. . . . An enchanting journey the reader will want to take again and again."
―Lois Anderton, retired, Carnegie Branch Library for Local History, Boulder, Colorado
"Photographer and historian Silvia Pettem's book, Boulder: Evolution of a City, offers an interesting look at Boulder as it was in its early days, how it's changed over the years, and how it hasn't. . . . Each photograph, whether it be old or new, is accompanied by thoughtful and detailed descriptions that provide context to the images."
―Five Magazine
