Beschreibung:
"How Crested Butte Became a Tourist Town," is a fun-filled social history about the evolution of a once tiny, working-class, ethnic, mining town into one of today's major destination tourist towns and recreation communities that cater to the recreation needs of both its upper-middle class visitors and residents alike. That transformation occured in the post-WWII period as our nation was moving from the industial revolution into the industrial age, and more people were "living lives of not such quiet desperation (to paraphrase Henry David Thoreau) and needed time to play and rejuvenate themselves and had more disposable income to do that.
