More about the book

Set against the stunning backdrop of the San Juan Mountains, the historic mining town of Silverton, Colorado, flourished due to its rich mineral deposits and the arrival of the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in 1882. While the silver bust of 1893 had minimal impact thanks to gold discoveries, mining remained vital until the 1980s. Today, tourism has taken center stage, with visitors exploring the town's mining heritage through tours, museums, and ruins. Duane Smith expertly captures Silverton's storied past and its enduring charm.
