Far more than a program, the work offers details on the industry, society, and scenery of Cripple Creek and the surrounding area, with biographical vignettes of leading citizens and business people. Cripple Creek, at an elevation of just under $10,000 feet, was the destination the last great Colorado gold rush following discovery of rich ore in 1890, and within three years the population was 10,000. Includes photographs of mines, miners, saloons, hotels, and the leading citizens. OCLC/WorldCat lists only four copies - at Colorado College, Minnesota Historical Society, Amon Carter Museum, and the University of Wyoming.
