Shtetl on the Range

You could say that Dr. Jeanne Abrams, as director of the Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Society and the University of Denver's Beck historical archive, took advantage of her position to compile her new book, Images of America: Jewish Denver 1859-1940. But no one could possibly take her to task for creating this beautiful photo history of Jewish culture in our own back yard. Featuring some 200 images, many from the Beck Archive and some not seen in print before, the book is a treasure for Denver Jews and history buffs alike.
