Boulder Amusement Park: The Biography of a Carousel

For more than 30 years, residents of a small hamlet in upstate New York wondered what happened to their hand-carved carousel, which vanished in 1970. And since the 1980s, when a unique menagerie figure, a white polar bear, claimed an astounding price at auction, collectors of carousel art have wondered where it came from. The author reveals the true story of a one-of-a-kind carousel -- whose figures now reside in national and international museums and private collections -- and describes the journey of a determined young man who achieved his American dream. Beautifully illustrated with nearly 200 photographs, most of them never before published.
