Remembering Denver [Paperback]

By the late nineteenth century, the city of Denver was a vibrant cultural center of the West. Through changing fortunes, Denver has continued to grow and prosper by overcoming adversity and maintaining the strong, independent culture of its citizens. With a selection of fine historic images from his best-selling book Historic Photos of Denver, Myron Vallier provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of Denver. Remembering Denver captures this journey through still photography selected from the finest archives. From the early days of the Brown Palace Hotel to a look at the city in the recent past, Remembering Denver follows life, government, education, and events throughout the city’s history. This volume captures unique and rare scenes through the lens of more than a hundred historic photographs. Published in vivid black-and-white, these images communicate historic events and everyday life of two centuries of people building a unique and prosperous city.
