c1900 8 excellent stereoview cards of Colorado Railroads and mining scenes, from such locations as Royal Gorge, Toltec Gorge, the famous Gdeorgetown RR loop, Plume road ore cart, Aspen bird's-eye view, and the best card, Lake City Series No. 1. These were taken by various photographers of the time, most of whom are listed on the cards. Some show age fade, but most are in fine condition. There is a rare 7-book series, titled "Over Trails of Yesterday" with the lenghty subtitle "Stories of Colorful Characters that Lived, Labored, Loved, Fought and Died in the Gold and Silver West." The series was published by "The Hermit Arbor Villa Via Salida," Colo. The small paperbacks are about 65 pages each, and are illustrated with both B&W lithos and photos. Book 1 is copyright 1943, Book 7 1948. A wonderful mix of photographic and literary Colorado history. Bud Bassett Collection - HKA#66334
