If you are intrigued with the history of the Old West, then this book is for you! This volume is filled with vintage photos, and stories of its past, the people who were significant in the establishment of the city, the development of agriculture, historical buildings, the railroad, and the evolutionary and sociological changes that shaped this unique city.

The city was also very important to the movie industry in the earlier part of the 20th Century. I'm sure Larry wouldn't mind me sharing what is in store for you in this fantastic read from the inside liner jacket:

In the beginning, it was an authentic "Wild West" town, with stagecoaches, saloons, and vigilante justice. But by the 1890's, Canon City had grown from its days of lawlessness to become - by design - one of the most agriculturally advanced areas in the country, only to have it end by the 1940's.

Canon City's story is one of hope, opportunity, survival, and prosperity.

Accompanied by more than 200 vintage photographs - most of which were gathered from the files of the Local History Center - author Larry Thomas Ward takes the reader on a fascinating journey through Canon City's early frontier history to its days when downtown consisted of only four heavily-treed city blocks.

More than fifty separate chapters highlight the town's early days, from Tom Mix to Tom Selleck; from the Fire Department's Hose Team of 1893 to the various Canon City schools; and from Skyline Drive to the Skyline Theatre. Canon City, Colorado: Every Picture Tells A Story, is the most visually stunning history of Canon City ever
published.
