This guide provides a fascinating account of Denver's history from the 1959 union of Cherokee Indians and farmers to the bustling, sophisticated, multi-ethnic hub it is today.

Reviews

Visitors to and residents of Denver will find much to their liking in this first of a new series of guidebooks to mid-sized cities (e.g., Portland, Nashville, Tampa/St. Pete, Cleveland). The local authors, a mother/daughter team, know their city, and restaurant reviewer Kyle Wagner includes most of the notable nonchain eateries in town. The guide is logically arranged, starting with a history of the city, an explanation of the geography, and advice on where to stay, where to eat, sights and attractions, things for children to do, museums, art galleries, performing arts, nightclubs, shopping, parks and public gardens, and sports and recreation spots, both for active participants and for those who like to spectate at professional sporting events. Also included is a short section on day trips within an hour or two of Denver. Maps are generally adequate, most listings are accurate and up to date, and a useful appendix offers necessities such as radio and TV channel numbers, banks, etc. If you can have only one city guidebook for Denver, this is the one. Highly recommended.?Thomas K. Fry, Univ. of Denver Lib., Col.
