Using original photos, drawings, map facsimiles, and contemporary maps Silver Rails traces the intertwining history of the silver rush in Leadville, the railroads' rush to link to the high mountain town, and the people that lived there. While the focus is on the last two decades of the 19th century, a shorter history of the railroad and the town during its decline is presented as well. (Worldcat)
