Book excerpt: "The Spaghetti Gang is the delightful memoir of Richard Guerrieri, a coal miner's son who grew up in the rough mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado. It is the story of Italian immigrant people and their lives during the Great Depression and World War II. Crested Butte was a coal town, dominated by the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. It was a true American melting pot made up of immigrants from Ireland, Scotland, England, Wales, Italy and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Guerrieri's account of his boyhood is wildly entertaining. His stories feature ranching, coal mining, Catholicism, World War II, hunting, skiing, and many other activities involving a young boy. He recounts the customs of the Italians and other ethnic peoples of Crested Butte who made blood sausage, dandelion wine, and got most of their food from deer, elk, and fish and from spectacular and well cared for gardens.The Spaghetti Gang is filled with the nostalgia of a young boy growing up at a time when Crested Butte families had very little. Readers are treated to vignettes about "strap-on ski's," "no bathing suits," "a horse named SOB," "the dreaded Catechism," and many other hilarious stories.Crested Butte was a microcosm of coal towns in America during the dark days of the Great Depression. In 1952 the Crested Butte coal mine shut down and three years later, the railroad tracks were torn up. Crested Butte's population fell to 300, a near ghost town before its revival as a ski town in 1961. Guerrieri's account of his early life and his family's transition from coal mining in Crested Butte to ranching in Gunnison, Colorado, shows that amidst the economic woes of the time there was fun and adventure to be had. His stories read very well and are brilliantly written. They make up a great picture of days gone by.The Spaghetti Gang tells a unique and heart-warming story of an ethnic coal town in American history. Crested Butte was, and is, a great mountain town with a rich history. The Spaghetti Gang brings it to life."

Book excerpt: This charming account of life, circa 1956, in a remote mining town in central Colorado, depicts a vivid sense of the intensity of a child’s world - its passions, fears, anxieties, joys and pleasures. Contrasted with the ambience of family life in all its detail and devotion are sharp, but often wry, scenes where the young protagonist strains against the restrictions and prohibitions that are a natural part of growing up and the testing of which in large part measures that growth. The storyline is interwoven with historical vignettes regarding the molybdenum mining industry during it’s heyday, and the foundation and maintenance of the town of Climax at 11,300 feet - a unique community and an important part of Colorado history.

Download or read book Growing Up in Estes Park During the 1950s And 60s written by Tyger Gilbert and published by Tyger Gilbert. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My story is about me being "The Luckiest Kid in The World" just because I grew up in Estes Park, Colorado. Not only is it one of the most beautiful places on Earth, but this unique little town has always been a place where toughness, determination, and being willing to help and look out for one another were historic requirements just to survive. And people in Estes still had that "Frontier Spirit" in the 1950s and 60s, so I was the recipient of the best they had to offer. I tell you about the freedoms I enjoyed, the honest and caring teachers, friends, and other folks living there who instilled their values and beliefs in me, and how being just outside Rocky Mountain National Park gave me a true love for Nature and the wonderful animals and plant life that exists in our magnificent environment everywhere. Rather than bore you with my verbosity, I show you what it was like with hundreds of photos while adding my crazy jokes and anecdotes to entertain you. Then I contrast what it was like "back then" to what many consider the over-populated, tightly controlled, and ever-deteriorating conditions of the present, just to be sure everyone knows and appreciates what they have left today.
Download or read book Growing Up Westsider 1950s 1960s and Beyond written by Arlene Lanman and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2022-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an Architect, we often think of 'Way Finding", starting when one approaches the site we create signs to point to the emergency access, the normal access, and delivery dock. Once inside the facility, we provide directories and directional signs. In life our parents, then friends, then teachers and employers try to "point" us in the direction they what us to take. However, we came into this life with a Plan, Mission, and a List of Lessons to be learned, but it takes us nearly a lifetime to rediscover the reasons we came here and what we intended to do while we are here. If you want to move forward, one needs to look back, otherwise you'll forget where you came from and where you need to go. From time to time we need to conduct a Life Review. Essential for me is a Sense of Place. A beginning point to always call home. I am and always will carry with me being a 'Westsider" (now termed the Old Colorado City Historic District). It is and was a community located within Fountain Creek Canyon (Hurricane Canyon) between the Mesa and the Mountains, was fully built-out by 1920, and at one time was self-contained. Here a sense of family and community were paramount, where neighbors knew neighbors, merchants knew the kids, a family had a "tab" at the Mom & Pop grocery store, and where honesty, civility and good manners were the norm. As Dorothy said, "There is no place like home" even when one is not at home. This book is the Author's Life Review and it points out the need for detail that you need to include in your own Life Review - to be effective, it needs to have detail. The Author's process will lead you to what the universe knew the day you entered this world - thorough Astrology you will learn that there is a Plan built into your Natal Chart that could guide you along your path instead of finding your Path through circumnavigation (the method we have all used to "beat the bushes" and walk a circular path about the problem of what is the meaning of life and specifically, your life. The Life Review will show that what appeared to be random was in reality the Path that, if projected, points to you future. Look at everything as a lesson to be learned and not as a problem to be solved. A Life Review will show that the "puzzle of life" does come together for a purpose and often points to the future. STOP GUESSING AND START KNOWING! Take control of your life or others will control you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2005 New Jersey Author Award for Scholarly Non-Fiction from the New Jersey Studies Academic Alliance Long before Bruce Springsteen picked up a guitar; before Danny DeVito drove a taxi; before Jack Nicholson flew over the cuckoo's nest, Asbury Park was a seashore Shangri-La filled with shimmering odes to civic greatness, world-renowned baby parades, temples of retail, and atmospheric movie palaces. It was a magnet for tourists, a summer vacation mecca-to some degree New Jersey's own Coney Island. In Asbury Park's Glory Days, award-winning author Helen-Chantal Pike chronicles the city's heyday-the ninety-year period between 1890 and 1980. Pike illuminates the historical conditions contributing to the town's cycle of booms and recessions. She investigates the factors that influenced these peaks, such as location, lodging, dining, nightlife, merchandising, and immigration, and how and why millions of people spent their leisure time within this one-square-mile boundary on the northern coast of the state. Pike also includes an epilogue describing recent attempts to resurrect this once-vibrant city.
