Wow Photo Wednesday ~ 10th Mountain Division
Wow ~ 10th Mountain Division soldiers trained hard, fought hard, and played hard. Trained in Colorado, the army ski-troops who distinguished themselves in the Italian Alps during World War II chose the Denver Public Library to be the repository of their manuscripts, photographs, and memorabilia. We are honored to be the stewards of this amazing collection, many of whose contributors were founders of Colorado's ski industry.

Among the regimental group photos, battle images, and shots of damaged Italian towns, are many surprising images. There is beautiful scenery, human interest, and pathos to be found in the almost 1,000 10th Mountain Photos in our Digital Collections, and among the many more non-digitized images.
