Book Description
Steamboat Springs is world renowned for the ski mountain that overshadows the town, but it was the multitude of springs that drew Ute Indians and then the first white settlers to this valley. John Crawford, Steamboat's founder, envisioned a town where people traveled from around the world to take part in the healing properties of the waters. The various springs were believed to cure everything from rheumatism, gout and dyspepsia to virulent blood disorders and skin diseases. While some springs have disappeared and others were sacrificed in the name of progress, many--including Old Town Hot Springs and Strawberry Park Hot Springs--still beckon visitors to bask in their sparkling waters.

Book Description
Known as Ski Town, U.S.A., for its deep powder and its growing crop of winter Olympians, Steamboat Springs was named nearly two centuries ago by French trappers. Hearing the achug, chuga of one of many hot springs, they supposed they had reached navigable waters. For centuries, the areaas abundant fish, game, and mineral springs drew the Yampatika, a Ute subtribe. In the 1870s, a rush of settlers came, first for precious metals, followed by more renewable richesathe lush summer pasturesaand next the extraction of carbonized forests (coal) millions of years old. Ironically, real wealth ultimately fell free from leaden winter skies, and this Routt County community experienced a boom like few places on earth. Winter sports, including ski jumping, with some world records, made Steamboat Springs famous worldwide.

Book Description
Victims of Love is a fictional diary written by fictional characters describing recorded newspaper events and the historical people who lived over one hundred years ago. The main characters are British immigrants, resisting falling in love and living in a booming western Colorado town in the early 20th Century. Good people were on the wrong side of the law. Adult women in 1914, formerly children of the Victorians, set female freedom of speech and choice in motion. All of humanity stared at war, the plague of Tuberculosis and the continued division of societies. Love persisted. A Diary by Victims of Love Banished in 1914 to Steamboat Springs, Colorado shows a succinct taste of an era with words and archival photos. The novel includes a collection of archival period photographs, and 1914 to 1916 newspaper display ads and headlines.
