Summary

"This Durango book is a model of local history....Non-Durangoan readers and those wanting a nice case study of a middle-sized town should find this handsome, generously illustrated book rewarding." Tom Noel, Rocky Mountain News "Smith has a good historical style, for one thing. He s obviously done a tremendous amount of research and he works in countless details-but smoothly and entertainingly. His is a dry understated humor. He makes Durango exciting without sensationalizing it." The Sunday Oklahoman.
