Editors from the Colorado Historical Society chose
the essays in this diverse collection, and they chose well.
There’s Muriel Sibell Wolle describing the intense two-year
lifespan of a mining town too high to endure — Irwin, near
Crested Butte. Other glimpses of Colorado’s colorful past
range from the fight to use peyote for religious purposes to the
story behind the murder of liberal disc jockey Alan Berg in Denver
in 1984.
