Abstract
Postcard showing a prospector and burro (image of prospector and burro pasted into photograph) standing on the hillside overlooking Shadow Lake, north of Glenwood Springs, Colorado. The caption on photograph NMHFM-231 identifies this person as Frank Gimlet, the hermit of Arbor Villa. Gimlet, aka Frank E. Gimlett, lived on the site of the abandoned mining town of Arbourville, Chaffee County. He authored “Over Trails of Yesterday,” a series of tales and poems, and entertained tourists in the 1940s.
