{"product_id":"denver-mining-camp-to-metropolis-9780870812408","title":"Denver: Mining Camp to Metropolis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis lively best seller by leading Colorado historians Steve Leonard and Tom Noel is the most comprehensive survey ever written of the Mile High metropolis. Informative and richly illustrated  Denver covers the developing region from the mountain towns of Boulder and Jefferson counties to the High Plains settlements of Adams and Arapahoe counties  with more than two-thirds of the book devoted to the burgeoning five-county region since 1900. In retelling the tale of conquest and city building  the authors explore the role of previously neglected peoples--notably women  ethnic minorities  and the working class--while weaving several key themes throughout the book: Denvers persistent reliance on natural resources  the important role of transportation to overcome the citys isolation  and the citys emphasis on privatization rather than on the public  common good. Denver: Mining Camp to Metropolis will fascinate and educated students and scholars  as well as all readers curious about the boom-and-bust metropolis of the Rockies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45648045604917,"sku":"ByrdShop_0870812408","price":35.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780870812408.jpg?v=1781707618","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/denver-mining-camp-to-metropolis-9780870812408","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
