"David Forsyth's history of Lakeside Amusement Park is a wild roller coaster ride! Forsyth shows how the park survived for more than a century by making itself 'a mirror of the world around it.'"—James Whiteside, author of Old Blue's Road"The history of this most interesting place is revealed in David Forsyth’s Denver’s Lakeside Amusement Park. Abundant in detail and rich in anecdote, this carefully researched history is also a wide-ranging and thoughtful study of the twentieth-century history of Denver, viewed creatively by Forsyth through the lens of Lakeside. For those who consider themselves well-informed about Denver’s past, as well as those whose interest in the city’s history is just beginning, this book is a rewarding read."—Robert Ferry, University of Colorado, Boulder"[A] fun read that uncovers Lakeside's untold stories."—Westword
