The Western Slope of Colorado is a land of majestic mountains, desolate plateaus, and fertile river valleys. It is a land where water-or the lack of it-determined where people could settle. And it is a land where geography and isolation shaped the nature of those who came, forming an inde-pendent, self-reliant way of being as unique as the land itself. This new volume is the history of the Western Slope from the Indians of Mesa Verde to the present, divided into -four parts early history to 1874; the mining era, 1874-1915; the good days?, 1900-1945; and 1945 to the present—a present that threatens mineral exploitation and drastic changes in the population and land use of the region. The Western Slope is á state of mind as much as a physical entity, and this special quality colors the narrative of this work, making it a fascinating account of both a place and a people.
