Historic Landscapes Summit County, Colorado, Ghost Towns and Townsites Volume 3: Conger's Camp, Dyersville, and More (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781943829583)

Historic Landscapes: Summit County, Colorado Ghost Towns and Townsites Gonger's Camp, Dyersville, and More, Volume Three, focuses on six settlements located at dizzying

heights, surrounded by some of the highest mountains of Summit County. A few followed the usual boom and bust cycles; others never grew beyond the planning stage. The

locations of several can be verified; others cannot. Where was Bloomfield, which never appeared on any maps? Where was Silver Lake? Follow Fountain's search for the true location.

How did Quandary City, in the shadow of Quandary Peak (elevation 14,268) receive its name? What was the true location of Conger's Camp/Argentine? Using authentic documents,

Fountain solves some of the questions that have never been answered. The volume concludes with the detailed story of Dyersville and the discovery of the cabin Father John Dyer built

for himself and his family. More mysteries solved.

As in his other manuscripts, author Bill Fountain imagined what life would have been like in the decades from 1860 until the 1900s. He hopes that you, the reader, with the help of the detailed text and photographs, will do the same.
