Call Number	X-13215
Title	Rollinsville, Colorado
Creator(s)	Chamberlain, W. G. (William Gunnison), 1815-1910.
Summary	Rollinsville (Gilpin County), Colorado, consists of a quartz stamp mill, outbuildings and dwellings along a dirt road; Boulder Creek meanders through the adjacent meadow.
Date	[between 1860 and 1865?]
Notes	Formerly F38216.; Title hand-written on back of photoprint, with printed label: "Boulder Pass, the scenery that everywhere meets and surrounds the traveler in crossing the Snowy Range is magnificent. The Rocky Mountains in Colorado as seen from the plains, present in appearance an impassible barrier, but are nevertheless easily penetrated and crossed to their western slope, and nowhere offer any serious obstacle to travelling among them. The Boulder Pass is the only one as yet open to carriage travel leading to the Middle Park, one of the best summer resorts for seekers of health and recreation in Colorado. The view from this Pass is extensive, beautifully picturesque and grand, presenting high mountains, snowy peaks, green meadows and glittering lakes. Parties from Denver over this Pass by the most direct route, will go to Rollinsville, a mining town located in a very picturesque little valley on the South Boulder, from thence a few miles to the upper end of the valley, the ascent of the Range commences. The scenery up to this point is paricularly picturesque, and the observing Tourist will find "Tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in the stones, and good in everything." The road, from base to summit is 10 miles, and good all the way. Elevation of the Pass is 11700 feet. The Hot Sulphur Springs, in the Park on Grand River, are thirty miles distant."; R7100132159
