Butte's Pride - The Columbia Gardens

Synopsis:
This beautiful autographed copy features an indepth and sensitive account of the history of Butte's once cherished amusement park known as Columbia Gardens. The book is full of crisp detailed photos dating back to the early mining days in 1862 to 1973 when the park closed. The author Pat Kearney spent years collecting information about the Gardens so that the memories would be kept alive and shared with future generations - those who would never see this place of beauty, fun, perfection and wonderment.
