"Marble: A Town Built on Dreams - Vol. I" is Oscar McCollum's history of this small Colorado town that became very famous for the production of building materials and monuments.  This first chronicle includes the Crystal River Railroad and the Carbondale – Redstone – Coalbasin region, as well as the story of the Colorado-Yule Marble Company's struggles in Marble, Colorado. A special feature of Volume I is the selection of photographs that detail the events of Marble, as the town grew through the years–only to be reduced by snow slides, fires, two world wars and the shutdown of the Colorado-Yule Marble Company. 

Contains 352 pages, with 380 black & white pictures and 50 full-color views.  Published by Sundance Publications in 1992 as a quarto-sized hardcover, this copy is signed on the half title page and is in like-new condition.  There are no damages: no text markings, no jammed corners and no dog-eared pages.  The standard Sundance plastic dust jacket is also undamaged.  The photos are of this very book.  This book will be packed and shipped in our bulletproof manner. All proceeds will benefit the Friends of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad for their restoration and maintenance projects. Be sure to see our photo collections at NGTrainPics.PhotoShelter.com.
