The City and the Saloon

During Denver s wild ride from frontier mining town to twentieth-century metropolis, the city s saloons, like those of many other western frontier towns, played a vital role in the development of the city. Now with a new preface, Tom Noel s classic study, The City and the Saloon, is a liquid history of how Denver s bars both shaped and reflected the Mile High City s birth and adolescence.
