Forbes Parkhill (1892-1974) was an early chronicler of the demimonde of Denver's early years. First a journalist, fiction writer, teacher, and screenplay writer for the movies, he eventually became what's called "a Western writer." With a jaunty, professional writing style, Parkhill presents his research about the early notables of his hometown of Denver—the gamblers, high rollers, madams, conmen, and hardened criminals. Aside from an owner's marking on the inside cover and fly page, the pages are unmarked and complete. With 15 period photos, bibliography, and index, this well-told history with its narrative panache has not been superseded.
