Description
This new history of the fastest growing county in the United States tells of Indian raids, political intrigue, broken dreams and broken dams, gold seekers, natural disasters, ghosts and an alien sighting, and the quiet achievements of neighbors banding together to create communities. The histories of Douglas County’s distinct communities–Castle Rock, Deckers, Franktown, Highlands Ranch, Larkspur, Louviers, Parker, Perry Park, Roxborough Park, Sedalia, and Spring Valley–are covered chapter by chapter. Locations and descriptions of historic sites are part of each chapter.
