Editorial Reviews

Review
"Smith has a good ’historical’ style, for one thing. He’s obviously done a tremendous amount of research and he works in countless details-but smoothly and entertainingly. His is a dry understated humor. He makes Durango exciting without sensationalizing it." -- The Sunday Oklahoman

"This Durango book is a model of local history....Non-Durangoan readers and those wanting a nice case study of a middle-sized town should find this handsome, generously illustrated book rewarding." -- Tom Noel, Rocky Mountain News

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST READING FOR DURANGO & SILVERTON FANS !, November 3, 2006
If you ever have experienced the pleasure of riding the Durango and Silverton narrow gauge railroad in southwest Colorado, then reading this little book on the history of Durango definitely is something you will enjoy. The author is a scholar who writes in a comfortable style. The only negative might be the fact that the reproduction quality of some of the vintage old west photographs leaves much to be desired.
