The Crested Butte Mountain Historical Museum, Bessemer Historical Society containing the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I) Archives, Denver Public Library, Colorado State Historical Library, and Western State College Library were of great help in providing photographs and information.
Individuals who played major roles in this books production include local photographers Sandy Cortner, J.C. Leacock, and Tom Stillo. Special thanks go to Staci Comden (Bessemer Historical Society), Glo Cunningham and Brooke Murphy (Crested Butte Mountain Heritage Museum), Nancy Gauss (Western State College Library), Coi Gehrig (Denver Public Library), and Jennifer Vega (Colorado Historical Society) for their great help.
Throughout the years, my interviews with Crested Butte old-timers like Frank Hodgson, Lyle McNeill, John Panion, Paul Panion, Joe Saya, Cloe Spann, and Philip Yaklich have added immeasurably to the information in this book. History papers written by Bob Lee, Lynda MacLennan, and Gary Sherman were also of great value to me.

I am very grateful for the support, guidance, wisdom, and expertise of my editor, Jerry Roberts, and Arcadia Publishing. Very influential in my work on this book was Pam Williams of historical Island Acres Resort in Gunnison, Colorado, who scanned all the photographs contained herein. Her knowledge and guidance were of great importance to me. Lastly, I thank the people from the Gunnison Country, where I have spent almost half a century, for their friendship and inspiration.
