What began as a small mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom of the late nineteenth century has since become the preferred getaway of the world's elite. Treasured for what's above ground rather than below, Aspen, Colorado has a storied history almost as dense as the directory of A-listers who have adopted the jewel of Pitkin County as their second home, or who have settled in its slopes indefinitely. With an introduction from longtime resident Aerin Lauder, Aspen celebrates and pays homage to the stark glamour, the working-class history, and the romance of the virtually untouched landscape that gives the town the unique charisma that continues to draw new devotees with each season. Exploring the rustic-chic atmosphere of the Hotel Jerome, the architectural excellence of Herbert Bayer's restored Wheeler Opera House, and local culture found at Schlomo's Deli & Grill, to name a few, this deluxe volume is brought to life with stunning current and historical imagery capturing the prodigious evolution of this mountain town over the last century.

Excerpt from Graham Aspen, Painter, Vol. 2 of 2: A Novel Meanwhile Aspen continued to justify the treatment resorted to by Dr. Eustace in conjunc tion with Alderman Clive, and scrupulously carried out by J em, consisting mainly of nutri tious soups and toothsome dishes from Birch's in Cornhill. With returning strength Aspen found new interests in life, and those growing inter ests centred in J em. He felt as though his faithful companion and nurse had turned aside for the moment the grim intruder Death, and had Opened before his aching eyes a bright vista of days to come of companionship in the study of Nature and the subtleties of Art; and the development of the gifts with which his friend was so richly stored, and which it had been his privilege and his pride to discover and foster. Aspen found cheer and comfort in the thought that, ere the three years' lease of life promised him by Dr. Eustace ran out, he could in some measure make return to J em for his affec tionate care of him; but his debt to Dr. Eustace, and still more to Mv. Clive, weighed upon him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
