On June 4, 1903, the Franklin Hotel opened to the public with an elaborate reception and ball. What happened the days before the grand inaugural? Ten year old Henry explores the hotel as he runs errands for his father who is the hotel manager. But when Henry drops a key down the elevator shaft, he learns the meaning of responsibility when working in the hotel whose main investor is Mr. Franklin. This exquisite watercolor picture book brings to life the time, manners, and cultural rules of everyday life in the gold boomtown of Deadwood, South Dakota.

About the Author:
In 1965, Nancy Cartwright started working at the Franklin Hotel as a waitress for Dorothy Treber Hoherz, daughter of a Deadwood pioneer. Dorothy introduced Nancy to the culture and history of Deadwood. Across the next decade, Nancy continued to work at the hotel while she put herself through college and then began her teaching career. While employed at the Franklin Hotel, Nancy visited with many pioneers of the Deadwood area and soaked up the history. Today, Nancy is a librarian for the Lead-Deadwood Elementary School and works with Black Hills Central Reservations. Using her love of history and the Black Hills of South Dakota, Nancy plans excursions for vacationers to the area. Joanna Jones is an author, educator, and consultant. She has taught in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and South Dakota. Children's literature has been her greatest love while teaching and now sees this book as a reflection of her studies in the field. Joanna currently works as an artist in residence to help children write books.
