General appearance is that of a book that was little read and the dust jacket offered some protection to the outside. A heart-warming story about what it was like to be a child in Denver in the 1880's. A happy little girl in a young western town that had wild flowers growing in its vacant lots and cottonwood trees by its irrigating ditches. The child tells of going places in horse cars, cable cars and the family carriage. Of her education going to and from and in Broadway School. Of the barren land to become beautiful City Park. The first performance in the new Tabor Grand Opera House and the breaking ground for the Capitol Building. These and many more as the child saw growing Denver. The book ends with a reproduction of the author's certificate of entry to east Denver High School earned in 1891. Beside the color and authenticity of this account, the book is illustrated with pen drawings by Jeannie Pear, each based accurately upon a picture or other ducumentary evidence of the period---of what the children saw about them. A unique and authentic account of a by-gone day but also a warm human interest story confirming that children of widely different periods are always wide-eyed with wonder at the world into which they have been born.
