Rollins Pass holds 12,000 years of history; Paleoindians utilized the pass 65 centuries before the invention of the wheel.

Later, wagon and rail magnates saw the pass as a "Great Gate" across the Continental Divide. Today, the area is listed as one of Colorado's Most Endangered Places.

Denver has evolved continuously since its 1858 founding, experiencing boom-and-bust cycles that have each left a mark on the cityscape.

Fruita, Colorado, was founded by William Pabor in 1884 as a family-friendly community based on fruit-growing.

Since this beautiful coastal town was established in 1902, residents have resisted change and battled to keep it unique and distinctive.

A City of Excellence

Located at the confluence of the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek, Pueblo, Colorado, began as a trading post but formally incorporated as a city in 1870. An important location in the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859, by the time that Pueblo became an actual town, steel was the most important metal. Early visionaries quickly developed business, heavy industry, and other enterprises that, in turn, attracted diverse communities making the city what it is today.

$23.99 $12.00 Save 50%

Cheyenne, Wyoming, was founded in 1867 and is young compared to cities on the Eastern Seaboard. Cheyenne exists because of the expansion of railroads from coast to coast, and although it was originally a tent city, solid structures began to appear as people settled in the area. It was wild and lawless in the beginning, but with the introduction of the cattle industry, it became a wealthy and refined community.

Carson City

$24.99 $12.50 Save 50%

Established in 1858 on the brink of the Comstock Lode discovery, Carson City quickly became a hub for industry and transport in western Nevada. Following the turn of the 20th century, Carson City's proximity to the Lake Tahoe area was attractive for early tourists and recreation enthusiasts, ultimately leading to the establishment of the Lincoln Highway down the city's main street. Carson City's landscape continues to change with new businesses and expanded infrastructure. Alexis K. Thomas is an architectural historian who has worked in Carson City as well as the rest of Nevada.

Glendora

9781467106658

$24.99 $12.50 Save 50%

Through a side by side comparison of historic and modern photographs, Ryan Lee Price illustrates the evolution of Glendora from a quaint town known for its abundant citrus groves to the beloved suburban community it is today, affectionately called "The Pride of the Foothills'? by locals.

On April 1, 1887, the first lot in Glendora was sold, and in the years since, sage and oak trees gave way to farms and orange trees. Acres of citrus trees soon yielded to rows of houses, and what is left of the orchards of yesteryear are small backyard orange groves, century-old farmhouses, and memories of the people who made Glendora their home. Although Glendora has evolved from a dusty village into a city, it is still a small town with plenty of history. Ryan Lee Price spent his formative years growing up in Glendora, and no matter where he lives, he considers it his hometown.

Douglas County

9781467109208

$23.99 $12.00 Save 50%

Douglas County, established in 1861, is one of Colorado's original counties. Mining, agriculture, sawmills, and railroads contributed to the growth of this territory, which includes two state parks and dozens of landmarked properties. Over 46 percent of the county's land is public or protected. While retail is now the largest industry in the area, this book will highlight some of the working ranches, original structures, and open spaces that remain thanks to cultural and historical stewardship.

Placer County

9781467109734

$23.99 $12.00 Save 50%

Placer is the Spanish word for gravel deposits containing gold. Placer County was formed in 1851 from portions of Sutter and Yuba Counties and was aptly named for its rich gold deposits.

Campbell County

9781467106405

$24.99 $12.50 Save 50%

Wyoming was one of the last states to be inhabited by non-native settlers. Campbell County, located in northeastern Wyoming, lacks a major body of water and so was not a primary destination for those who had headed west. The first settlements came after the early Homestead Acts, when the federal government gave out free land claims to encourage homesteaders. Another local rush occurred in the 1970s, when dozens of commercial coal mines opened and began hiring workers.

Galt

$24.99 $12.50 Save 50%

Those who have not been back to Galt in years might be surprised to find beloved places like the old Galt High School, Galt Frostie, and the Galt Pharmacy on Fourth Street are all gone.

An agricultural community at its inception, Galt has maintained its small-town charm and remains a stopping off point for those traveling State Highway 99.
