Leadville: The Struggle to Revive and American Town
Set amidst historic mining streets and the highest Rocky Mountains and filled with characters that could populate a novel, Leadville illustrates the environmental challenges we face in deciding what to clean up, who pays for it, and how much risk to our health we are willing to accept.
Klucas makes even the drab players as bright as the river.
