Denver's Street Railways This volume begins with the horsecar era; these colorful little cars, with their tinkling bells, were a much-needed alternative to the horse and carriage for commuting. As expected, the horsecar line became profitable and stayed that way for years to come. Between 1885 and 1887, the Denver Tramway Company made history by operating the first electric streetcars via a conduit beneath its trackage on 15th Street in downtown Denver. The company later consolidated all of the competition to establish a single unified transit system in the city. |
352 pages, 60 detailed streetcar route maps, 282 photographs, hardcover.
The San Juan Country is among the most spectacularly beautiful areas in Colorado. Its history since the earliest times is a particularly fascinating and colorful one. AN EMPIRE OF SILVER traces this region's story--from the geologic forces which shaped the area, through the Spanish conquistadores , who failed to find the riches they came seeking, to the Ute Indians and fur trappers who loved the area for its natural beauty and the abundance it provided, to the prospectors, hard-rock miners and visionaries who made the San Juans one of the richest silver-producing districts in the world. The endeavors of Otto Mears in building toll roads and steam railroads is chronicled. The book concludes with the tragic demonetization of silver in 1893 and the resulting collapse of the region's economy; which was primarily based on silver mining. |

Still Missing: A well-argued case that gives feminist substance to Amelia Earhart's firm place in the national pantheon. Ware contends that, in her roles as aviator, teacher, author, wife, and media personality, Earhart personified the ill-defined feminism of the 1920's and 30's.
Ware places it firmly in the context of the era, when the organized struggle for women's equality had given way to what she calls ``liberal feminism,'' the celebration of individual achievement. Click to order (Amazon)...........$11.16
