Aspen: The History of a Silver Mining Town, 1879-1893
This was a pretty standard history book. Were this not my hometown and were it not research I don't think I would've gotten through it. Some parts were interesting but for the most part it was a traditional desert of nonfiction. Reading it once was certainly enough.
