All those who delight in modern Aspen as a ski resort and cultural center, as well as those who enjoy reading about all the old Wild West, will be charmed by this book. In its heyday as a mining town, Aspen rivaled the camps of the California Gold Rush, Virginia City in Nevada's Comstock Lode, and Leadville in Colorado, and from 1887 to 1893 it was the riches silver-mining center in America. Aspen's story begins in 1879 with seven prospectors camped in tents by the intersection of the Roaring Fork River and Castle Creek at the foot of Aspen and Smuggler Mountains. The first great spurt of growth came in 1883, when Jerome B. Wheeler, a partner in Macy's Department Store, bought several claims and built roads and a smelter. The arrival of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in 1887 transformed Aspen into a major metropolis by the standards of the day, with some 12,000 inhabitants and services that included six newspapers, two banks, an opera house, electric lights and telephones, a street car system, a waterworks, and schools and churches. The city became home to colorful personalities like B. Clark Wheeler, grandiose promoter and editor of the Aspen Times, and Davis H.Waite, his father-in-law and a local reformer who was elected governor of Colorado in 1892. Rohrbough brings to life the dynamic entrepreneurs such as David M. Hyman and Henry B. Gillespie who made the town and profited from it, the vicious court fights that resulted from mining disputes, and most effectively of all, the atmosphere of a booming mining community. In July 1893 the price of silver dropped sharply and within a week, all the mines in Aspen closed. By 1930, Aspen was virtually a ghost town, with a population of 705. But then a new generation of entrepreneurs discovered another natural resource in this former mining camp. It was snow.Binding Type: Paperback

Beef Tallow Sunscreen Stick (Kid-Friendly)
Our family absolutely loves this beef tallow sunscreen stick! It’s become a must-have for park days, sports, vacations, and everyday outdoor activities. The stick format makes application quick and easy, especially when applying sunscreen to active kids who don’t like standing still.
The formula glides on smoothly and feels moisturizing without being greasy. I love that it’s made with simple, skin-friendly ingredients and mineral sun protection, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin. My kids haven’t experienced any irritation, and it helps keep their skin soft and protected even during long days outside.
One of the biggest benefits is how convenient it is to reapply. The stick fits easily in a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and there’s no messy lotion to spill. It works great on faces, noses, ears, and shoulders, which are often the areas most exposed to the sun.
Why We Love It:
- Kid-friendly and easy to apply
- Gentle on sensitive skin
- Moisturizing with nourishing beef tallow
- Convenient, mess-free stick format
- Great for outdoor adventures and travel
- Mineral-based sun protection
Overall, this sunscreen stick provides reliable protection while keeping skin moisturized and comfortable. It’s a fantastic option for families looking for a simple, natural, and kid-friendly sunscreen that makes sun protection easy for everyone. Highly recommended!

Obsessed with this sunscreen stick!
Just got this Beef Tallow Sunscreen Stick and I'm honestly really impressed! I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never used a tallow based sunscreen before, but it feels so nice on my skin. It glides on super smoothly, doesn't leave a weird sticky feeling, and makes my skin feel moisturized instead of dry like some sunscreens do.
I also love how easy it is to throw in my bag and just reapply throughout my day. The ingredients are a huge plus for me too ofc!
I like that it's made with beef tallow, honey, and beeswax instead of a bunch of stuff I can't pronounce.
I've worn it outside for a few hours already and it held up great. No irritation, no white cast, and my skin felt really soft afterward. Definitely happy with this purchase and I'll be keeping it in my daily routine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more natural sunscreen option!

The texture is smooth and it smells nice. Definitely way smaller than I was expecting.
