From the Publisher
SUMMIT features: . . . Nineteen detail-packed chapters . . . Nearly 100 pictures, most antique 1800s photographs . . . Rich design, spiced with century old drawings The book explores the early days of Summit's first explorers, camps with nomad Ute Indians here, follows the beaver men who came seeking pelts and found glittering metal. August 10, 1859 marked the Blue Valley's first official gold strike. Breckenridge sprang up to house a horde of prospectors and other towns followed. SUMMIT takes you up and over the old high passes, along the 1880's narrow-gauge rail routes and on jeep tours of the area's historic mines. The book highlights the county's colorful characters, reports on its crusading newspapers, and, finally, witnesses the birth pangs of Summit skiing. Timed to celebrate the town centennials of Breckenridge, Frisco, Montezuma and Dillon, SUMMIT offers a lively look backward at each, plus histories of dozens more old-time Summit communities.
