Book Description
Ft. Collins, CO: Centennial Publications. (1977) 1st ed. HC. very good++, pictorial boards (hardcover). Limited and signed by the author. For less than $5.00, a citizen of Denver in 1908 could ride in comfort in a narrow-gauge railroad car from Denver's mile-high altitude to Mr. McClellan's over 13,000 foot heights. Credit for this unusual opportunity must of necessity be given to the Rev. Edwary J. Wilcox, a one-time Methodist minister who built the Argentine Central Railway wich ran from Silver Plume, Colorado to Mt. McClellan, almost 16 miles distant. . 160pp
