Colorado Books

We live at the boundaries of the Pike National Forest (Colorado), and we travel the state camping in our Coleman pop-up. We picked this book up at the vistor's center at Rocky Mountain National Park. It is great. Informative. Easy to read. Nicely bound. Since we have been to a little less than half of the places described in the book, we know it to be largely accurate and WELL worth the read.

I ordered this book because I grew up in this area, Westwood to be exact and I found it facinating the depth of the area that Sharon went to in her book. This is particularly interesting to anyone from Denver and especially from the West and Southwest areas. Thank you Sharon for writing such a detailed history from the beginning to the present of the area. Carol Sundine-Moreira

Fat/Trax:Colorado Springs is a must if you like to mountain bike and enjoy great views. Whether you are a resident or visitor to the area, this book provides everything you'll need to know about riding the trails in the region except for the current weather conditions...also a must. From novice to expert, there is something to be found for all skill levels in the trails listed in Fat/Trax. Trails defined in this book range from the "just on a whim-'cause the weathers so nice" 45 min. ride to the "better pack some food, water, and a bed-roll" overnighter. Sized for the trail, easy to follow, and priced right, this one inspires all skill levels to saddle-up and "crank" out a most enjoyable ride.

This was a great book! I enjoyed every moment of it. The author captures the reader's attention with humor and brings it all together with a good message. Everyone should go out and buy it!

An excellent read. I knew a little about the ludlow massacre, but never really understood the context of the time until I read this book. Now I tell some of the story to all of my college students as they take their first course in Business. It is important for them to understand the absolute corruption of power of that time, and the legitimacy of unions in correcting the abuse. Of course later unions get too much power in some industries and they become the abusers of power. This is a valuable book to set the stage for a century long look at power issues in the workplace.

This is one of the best books on a rather broad subject matter. The authors have done a commendable job of covering the availability and use of firearms during one of the most dramatic times in American history. Not only do they document the use of major manufacturers products, they also cover the use and possession of lesser known products as well. This is a well written and entertaining compendium of information that is bound to go down in literature history as one of the great books on the subject it covers. I recommend this book if you have any interest in this subject. It is well worth the money spent!

I've owned my 79 Firebird since the late 80s. I'm his second owner and have been keeping him showroom and running since I first purchased him. Chilton's has been an incredible source of information for my Firebird and I would suggest that anyone who has purchased an older car get a Chilton's guide for their vehicle. Educate yourself on its parts and learn what particulars your car has for its specific year. While many of the older GM models have "interchangeable" parts, this book is a good resource when investigating exactly what is making that windshield wiper arm move and what that part is called when searching through the mire of replacements. I highly recommend this book. It is key for the owner of classic as well as late-year cars.

Joyce Lohse has written a book impressive for its detailed knowlege of many important events in Colorado History. Included are numerous fascinating maps, documents, and pictures, which she has unearthed in years of exhaustive research. Interesting to anyone who wants to learn more about early Colorado, this book chronicles a formative period which should never be forgotten.

If you are interested in forensic psychiatry, this is an excellent book with which to begin.

It is also a sad story of how religious mania destroyed a young man and destroyed the lives of his parents.

In 1878 Harriet Jackson has been in love with Elijah Kelly forever, but he married Jordan Braddock. Stunned and dismayed, Harriet becomes engaged to Colorado's number one bachelor, wealthy Ash Brady. Her doubts about her future relationship rise as the ceremony gets closer. She wonders whether the groom will ever love the real Harriet or is he fulfilling an obligation with a societal trophy especially since he openly condemns her family?

Elizabeth "Lissy" Woodfin arrives in the Wyoming Territory seeking Elijah and his brother former Captain Malachi Kelly of the Seventh Cavalry to help her. Malachi wants nothing to do with the only woman he ever loved, but cannot resist helping her especially when "Harry" also comes to enlist his aid. As they share an adventure, Malachi wonders why he thought of Harriet as his pal Harry because he is falling in love with the woman who once worshipped his sibling.

Americana romance readers will relish COLORADO SUNRISE, a tale that emphasizes loyalty especially to loved one and friends even when the individual risks all they cherish to help. The characters make the plot as the key players come across fully developed, pushing the romance into a backseat yet turning the growing love between Malachi and Harriet into a beautiful realistic story line. Tess Pendergrass provides a delightful charmer with the third Colorado trilogy novel.
