Excerpt: ...the summer months there is an almost constant round of church and society picnics and private pleasure parties coming down to the lakes from Leadville, so that nearly every day brings a fresh influx of visitors, enlivening the resort, and dispelling all tendency to monotony. Twin Lakes is the highest of all the popular Rocky Mountain resorts, and furnishes an unfailing antidote for hot weather. Even in midsummer flannels are necessary articles of apparel, and thick woolen blankets indispensable at night. The latter part of July and a part of August constitute the rainy season, when there is usually a shower every day, preceded and succeeded immediately by a clear sky and bright sunshine. The waters are always too cool for bathing, except in the case of robust people. The temperature of the lakes suggests their origin, for they are undoubtedly the result of immense glaciers that once reached from the canons and gorges of the neighboring peaks far down the valley, carrying vast quantities of broken and disintegrated rock, and depositing it in long moraines, that constitute the hills which now, with their covering of pines, interpose to isolate the lakes from the narrow meadows along the Arkansas. To the student of geology these evidences of glacial action afford an unfailing source of interest. Prof. Hayden, in his report of the United States geological survey of Colorado, devotes several pages, illustrated by maps and charts, to a description of the moraines in this vicinity. Although the glaciers have long since melted away, it is not uncommon in climbing among the mountain gorges, late in summer, to find great masses of snow, resulting from avalanches that came down from the mountain sides during the winter and spring. In consequence of...

Download or read book Chasing the Cure in New Mexico written by Nancy Owen Lewis and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the story of the thousands of “health seekers” who journeyed to New Mexico from 1880 to 1940 seeking a cure for tuberculosis (TB), the leading killer in the United States at the time. By 1920 such health seekers represented an estimated 10 percent of New Mexico’s population. The influx of “lungers” as they were called—many of whom remained in New Mexico—would play a critical role in New Mexico’s struggle for statehood and in its growth. Nearly sixty sanatoriums were established around the state, laying the groundwork for the state’s current health-care system. Among New Mexico’s prominent lungers were artists Will Shuster and Carlos Vierra, who “came to heal and stayed to paint.” Bronson Cutting, brought to Santa Fe on a stretcher in 1910, became the influential publisher of the Santa Fe New Mexican and a powerful U.S Senator. Others included William R. Lovelace and Edgar T. Lassetter, founders of the Lovelace Clinic, as well as Senator Clinton P. Anderson, poet Alice Corbin Henderson, architect John Gaw Meem, aviator Katherine Stinson, and Dorothy McKibben, gatekeeper for the Manhattan Project. New Mexico’s most infamous outlaw, Billy the Kid, first arrived in New Mexico when his mother, Catherine Antrim, sought treatment in Silver City.

Download or read book Breathing Space written by Gregg Mitman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allergy is the sixth leading cause of chronic illness in the United States. More than fifty million Americans suffer from allergies, and they spend an estimated $18 billion coping with them. Yet despite advances in biomedicine and enormous investment in research over the past fifty years, the burden of allergic disease continues to grow. Why have we failed to reverse this trend? Breathing Space offers an intimate portrait of how allergic disease has shaped American culture, landscape, and life. Drawing on environmental, medical, and cultural history and the life stories of people, plants, and insects, Mitman traces how America’s changing environment from the late 1800s to the present day has led to the epidemic growth of allergic disease. We have seen a never-ending stream of solutions to combat allergies, from hay fever resorts, herbicides, and air-conditioned homes to numerous potions and pills. But, as Mitman shows, despite the quest for a magic bullet, none of the attempted solutions has succeeded. Until we address how our changing environment—physical, biological, social, and economic—has helped to create America’s allergic landscape, that hoped-for success will continue to elude us.
