The Aspen Kid: Growing up in Aspen, Colorado in the Fifties and Sixties - Paperback

by Terry Morse (Author)

The Aspen Kid is the story of growing up in an old mining town, long since gone bust. It is a collection of vignettes which gives the reader a peek into life in the '50's in the Rocky Mountain West as told through the eyes of a boy who lived it. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, and sometimes just plain outrageous, the book recalls the author's early years and what it was like being a boy in a town in the Rockies while "skiing" was becoming a household word.
