A rich natural and cultural history of the Rcky Mountains and their place in the American imagination. Gary Ferguson spins magnificent tales about the vivid characters who have peopled this majestic region, from the original Indian inhabitants and their interactions with European explorers to the delirious victims of gold-rush fever, to hippies in the sixties, to today's adventure travelers in high-tech outerwear toting satellite phones into the wild.
