Denver in Slices: A Historical Guide to the City Book

Set amidst the snowcapped Rocky Mountains, site of yesterday's gold rushes and today's lofty playgrounds, the Queen City boasts a rich heritage. A grand, Golden Age hotel (the Windsor), Elitch's Gardens, the federal mint, the Baron of Montclair, Overland Park, the "unsinkable" Mrs. J. J. Brown, and other places and personalities make up her unique past. Lousia Ward Arps's wonderful guidebook offers us these and other highlights ("slices") of Denver history ("not the whole loaf"), sure to reward the inquisitive traveler or longer sojourner in the Mile High City. The book is illustrated with nearly one hundred scenes of Old Denver.
