 Wonderful! September 8, 1999
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Thanks so much to Christian Buys for this book of knowledge and memories. I grew up in Leadville in the 60's and 70's. Lived on the same street as Tabor's house, went to the old Presbyterian Church, played on the mine dumps in our back alleys. It was a wonderful place to grow up, but I never knew the whole story (or, as a kid, didn't listen when I should have been!). So, it's interesting and just so fun to read this book. A great investment for those of us who miss that wonderful place.
wonderful collection of old photograghs and postcards December 20, 1998

I had a hard time putting this book down. The pictures and photographs are arranged in chronological order so to me it read like a story. The tragic tale of Baby Doe was one of many great human interest elements. There were a couple typos, but I guess that's to be expected. I just got another book by this author with a similar format, Historic Telluride. It looks equally delightful.
 Leadville Cemetary October 23, 1998

While this book did have many wonderful photos and stories, I was dissapointed in the total lack of photos of that incredibly interesting cemetary in Leadville which has graves of people who died 150 years ago. I find that cemetary to be just as interesting as the abandoned mines in Leadville.
