Buckskin Joe was established in 1859 but died when the gold played out.  Just a ghost town until 1957 when its buildings and structures were moved eight miles east of Cañon City, where they can be seen today.

Great American Bars and Saloons

Great American Bars and Saloons by Kathy WeiserBy Kathy Weiser

Owner/Editor of Legends of America

 

Kathy Weiser's first venture into the publishing world takes you into the many watering holes of America's past, particularly the numerous saloons that sprouted up during our nation's Wild West days. This great photographic review displays hundreds of vintage photographs from California to Arizona, the mining camps of Colorado, all the way to New York and its turbulent days of Prohibition.
