NEEDS MORE DATA ON B. CLARK WHEELER AND GOVERNOR WAITE,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story of Aspen (Hardcover)
TODAY MOST FREQUENT VISITORS AND RESIDENTS OF ASPEN KNOW THE NAME JEROME B. WHEELER, i.e. THE JEROME HOTEL, AND THE WHEELER-STODDARD MUSEUM.THIS BOOK SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE HERD OF THOSE THAT THINK JEROME IS THE HERO OR FATHER OF ASPEN. B.CLARK WHEELER IS THE FOUNDER OF ASPEN. THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN THE TWO WHEELERS, YET TODAY JEROME TAKES ALL THE CREDIT TODAY IN ASPENS HISTORY. B. CLARK WHEELER BUILT THE ROAD TO ASPEN AND PLOTTED AND NAMED THE SITE, ASPEN. 1880. B. CLARK WHEELERS FATHER-IN-LAW, WAS SOON TO BE GOVERNOR DAVIS H. WAITE; a.k.a. BLOODY BRIDLES. THE HISTORY OF WAITE AND WHEELER TOGETHER IN ASPEN IS MISSING CONTENT AND DETAILS. JEROME WHEELER WAS A RICH INVESTOR WHO HAD A HOME BUILT IN ASPEN, BUT HIS WIFE REFUSED TO MOVE IN IT. AFTER THE DE-MONITIZATION OF SILVER IN 1893, B.CLARK WHEELER HUNG ON IN ASPEN FOR MANY YEARS, WHILE JEROME B. WHEELER DESERTED ASPEN LIKE A RAT ON A SINKING SHIP. IF YOU VISIT THE JEROME WHEELER-STODDARD MUSEUM, ! YOU WILL BE TOLD THAT JEROME IS A HERO. YES THE MAN DID CONTRIBUTE AND INVEST IN THE INFRASTRUCT URE OF ASPEN, BUT A HERO ??? PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH............WHEELER AND WAITE, NOW THAT'S SOMETHING WORTH WRITING ABOUT, REAL HEROES.

GOOD INFORMATION YET LACKING DATA ON BLOODY BRIDLES,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Story of Aspen (Hardcover)
This one of the better books on Aspen's history. Yet it misses the mark by excluding Aspen's most famous son, Bloody Bridles. This character came to Aspen in 1881 and was the father-in-law of B. Clark Wheeler, the father of Aspen. Governor Davis H. Waite; a.k.a. Bloody Bridles was the most controversial public official in Colorado and of his era. To not include his diverse and exciting history within the text of this book, is a crime !!! More details to come in my novel. Frank S. Waite - Great-grandson of Bloody Bridles
