Description
A large crowd of people gathered in early Roslyn for a community event. The people arrived at the town's center by horse and buggies from the outlaying areas. Newly constructed wood frame buildings provided homes, meeting halls and schools for the early miners and their families. The pine covered foothills were stripped of lumber for building and coal mine expansion.
