Description: From gold camp to a beautiful mountain recreation resort, this book has all the history, lore and legend of Breckenridge, Colorado. Here are stories of the amazing Father Dyer, Marshall Silverthorn, the Tenth Mountain Division, and Tom's Baby (the biggest gold nugget ever taken out of the Colorado mountains) to name just a few. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Summit County or mining in the West. Rather than being a dry history of the area, this book crackles with first-hand accounts and historic photographs.
