A Brief History of Telluride

by Christian J. Buys

In this little book you will meet fascinating residents like Lucien Nunn, who almost single handedly saved Telluride’s mining industry with the introduction of the first commercial use of alternating-current electricity in the world. Or learn about dashing (and conceited) Bulkeley Wells who managed the Smuggler-Union Mine and also led the Colorado militia against his striking workers. Or discover more about Charles Waggoner, who was reported to play Robin Hood during the Depression, stealing from rich eastern banks to protect his local depositors.
