Using information taken from first-hand accounts, mining district logbooks, and newspapers, the authors tell the story of the more than 25 historic towns that supported the mining economy in the greater Breckenridge area. Only the town of Breckenridge, the focus of this volume, survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will follow the first prospectors filing their claims, establishing mining districts to govern their operations, the building of Fort Mary B to protect them from perceived threats from the native Utes as well as provide a place for the first merchants to sell their wares, and the platting of the new town of Breckenridge by capitalists from Denver. As you follow the growth of the town from 1859 until 1899, you will meet men and women who were critical to its development.
