The story of the Creede Branch of the Denver & Rio Grande is
covered in this volume, starting with building into the fascinating
gold camp of Creede. Beginning with narrow-gauge trackage, the span of
time covered concludes with standard-gauge times. Back-country
adventures are related about Jeeping in the high country around
Silverton, Creede, Ouray and Lake City. One story reveals the life and
times of the mining town of Lake city during the 1870s until the
present. Pictures compliment the Lake City Branch saga, which extends
through the mountains into the Gunnison Valley, to the north of Lake
City. This volume contains 192 pages with 200 photographs, 45 in full
color.
