Pages : 146
Book Description
Early promoters of Colorado s Western Slope would have had settlers believe the area was one of proper behavior and upstanding morality. But this was not the case. Hot tempers led to quick trigger fingers and Main Street shootouts. Drinking, gambling and thieving were popular pursuits, and law breaking of all kinds thrived in this wild land. From Charles Graham, whose jealous rampage in Grand Junction is still talked about today, and the mysterious Friday the thirteenth murder of Jeanette Morris to Abe C. Ong, the mischievous pioneer bootlegger of De Beque, and Riverside s Mrs. Barnes and her foul crime, History Sleuth D.A. Brockett reveals some of the most outrageous and remarkable crimes in Western Slope history."

New Frontier

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
Well-known author Wilson Rockwell wrote New Frontier in 1938, early in his writing career, as a tribute to his mother. He would wait almost twenty more years before writing another popular history of the Western Slope of Colorado. During this time he became a highly respected State Senator and historian. Most of his latter work does not duplicate this earlier work, basically lost to time until now. New Frontier contains information on the early days of west central Colorado and focuses on the history and the personalities of the Gunnison, Uncompahgre, and North Fork Valleys. Anyone who has enjoyed Wilson Rockwell's more recent books will find New Frontier to be fascinating and enjoyable. Rockwell also cites many sources that are not commonly cited today. It is our pleasure to publish this work so that it may take its place among his other classic works.
