Book excerpt: History of Arvada: A Photo Journey relates historical details of Arvada, Colorado, as shown in photographs, arranged in a path around the city. The pathway begins at the heart of the city along the property line of founding settlers, Benjamin Wadsworth and Louis Reno. The book is not a comprehensive history, but small bits of history pieced together along a trail that weaves through space and time.The reader first travels through Olde Town Arvada, and views the business center as it developed from the late 1800s. Some stories overlap, and some highlight local residents. One early entrepreneur built an entire block, section by section over a decade, to produce what appears to be one, long building of red-orange brick. Each building holds the history of what happened within its walls. The first bank in town is still a bank. The oldest building still standing, built as a grange, later rocked to tunes as a teen dance hangout. A few walls witnessed murder or robberies. Some walls fell in flames.As the route circles the city, the outline of the foothills brings local folklore to mind. There are visits to truck farms and homesteads as well as one of the first schoolhouses in the Territory of Colorado. Trains, street cars, and buses all play a part in the growth and the changing times of the town.The cover features the Arvada Flour Mill, a business that played an important role in the agricultural community, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. The old mill now houses a museum, preserving history of the area. Building facades may have changed and the businesses within those buildings may have sold, closed, or moved down the street, but the original form of the structures, the bones of the town, can be seen throughout Olde Town, giving this city a charm and spirit which goes back to its beginning. Enjoy the journey through time while exploring the byways of the town of Arvada as it grew into a city.

Book Full Body Burden

Download or read book Full Body Burden written by Kristen Iversen and published by Crown. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An intimate and deeply human memoir that shows why we should all be concerned about nuclear safety, and the dangers of ignoring science in the name of national security.”—Rebecca Skloot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks A shocking account of the government’s attempt to conceal the effects of the toxic waste released by a secret nuclear weapons plant in Colorado and a community’s vain search for justice—soon to be a feature documentary Kristen Iversen grew up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated "the most contaminated site in America." Full Body Burden is the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and--unknown to those who lived there--tainted with invisible yet deadly particles of plutonium. It's also a book about the destructive power of secrets--both family and government. Her father's hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats--best not to inquire too deeply into any of it. But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions and discovered some disturbing realities. Based on extensive interviews, FBI and EPA documents, and class-action testimony, this taut, beautifully written book is both captivating and unnerving.
