Förlagets beskrivning
The story of Park City may be read on the faces of her historic buildings. It is these few relics of weathered wood and brick that preserve the charm of this old mining camp and summon the ghosts of the people who lived and labored here. The book is designed as a walking tour to take you through the Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and visit some of the outstanding buildings on nearby Park Avenue. But this is not a pedantic architectural study. You will read of the mortician who used his hearse to bootleg booze during prohibition, the primitive dungeon below City Hall that served as a territorial prison longer than any other in the West, the Silver King aerial tramway that was a wonder in Western mining circles, and the Catholic Church that is the oldest of continual use in Mormon country. You will glean the highlights from over 100 years of Park City history by viewing these places where much of it happened. --- from book's back cover
