Description

This title features thirteen stories that explore the Centennial State from the late nineteenth century into the early 1900s and through the Great Depression, World War II, and the Cold War fifties. Set in different locations around the state such as Berthoud Pass, Baca County, the Great Sand Dunes, Boulder, Trinidad, and Denver, the stories in this collection capture Colorado in all its guises. To help in placing the writer and the work in the proper historical perspective, vivid introductions and afterwords for each tale are included.
