1886 ASPEN LETTER--BY FRANK ANDERSON BLILEY

This recording is of a letter written in 1886 by my grandfather, Frank Anderson Bliley. At the time, he was 20 years old and had just completed his third year of teacher's college at Pennsylvania Normal School, in Edinboro, Pa. I would guess he was looking for a good summer job and found one with his cousin Benjamin Bonnell (Age unknown) in the boom town of Aspen, Colorado.

This letter was read by Frank Bliley, age 75, on February 22, 1941. It relates the his life and observations of the silver mining town of Aspen, Colorado for his sister (name unknown).
