A great place to visit
|
| If you're curious about Telluride, this book will go a long way toward convincing you to visit. If you've been there, you will be reminded again of its spectacular natural beauty and compelling history. The author is a native of Telluride, as well as a fine writer, so the narrative is excellent reading. The recent photographs are beautiful, and the historic ones evocative of the town's colorful past. Lavender does not shy away from the darker moments in the town's history (management-miner disputes that lead to violence) or the town's promising though problematic future as it tries to build a new economy to replace the former industrial base. The only way this book could be improved would be for it to be updated. Such recent events as the opening of a gondola connecting the town and Mountain Village are not included. Still, this book is a great introduction to one of the most beautiful places you'll ever see. |
