Quotes:
The Cripple Creek area, following the gold rush, looked like a miniature Europe, divided into 'dukedoms' and 'fiefs' that were the larger and smaller mining claims. And it was a real adventure to walk the seven miles from Victor, where I lived, to the town of Cripple Creek.
-- Book of the High Mountains
Lowell Thomas
