A romantic nostalgia flows through the pages of the latest issue
of Common
Ground, an official publication of the National Park
Service with the mission of 'Preserving Our Nation's Heritage.' The
Spring issue delves into America's mining history in search of a
'Silver Lining in a Prospecting Past.' Joe Flanagan, the article's
author, doesn't focus on the dark cloud of environmental
destruction, but chooses to depict the beauty and grandeur still
present in the old mining towns of Colorado. The issue also
profiles a 200-year-old quarantine facility in Pennsylvania and a
Maryland amusement park whose history encapsulates the 1950s. --
