The Magic and Wonder of Colorado
Andy Marquez
Colorado based photographer Andy Marquez has traveled all over the world,
including 26 countries and six continents. He has created breathtaking images
that cover thousands of walls everywhere, yet his favorite place in the world to
photograph is his home state of Colorado. This book was inspired by the beauty
Andy found throughout Colorado, whether it was facing a huge bison in the
dead of winter or discovering the first signs of spring in a grassy meadow. This
collection of photographs has been put together to show Andy’s appreciation for
having the opportunity to live in such a gorgeous state.

A Kingdom of Their Own
The Story of the Palmers of Glen Eyrie
Stephen J. May
A vividly written biography of one of Colorado’s first families. General Palmer,
founder of Colorado Springs and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, is well
known to Coloradans. But lesser known and just as compelling in many ways, are
his wife Queen and their daughters, who inhabited one of the great mansions in the
West—Glen Eyrie. Almost like a fairy tale in its conception, their relationship was a
fascinating blend of frontier challenges and gracious living amid the Wild West of the
1870s and ’80s. It’s the Downton Abbey of the West, with a strong central character
(General Palmer) surrounded by a loyal but headstrong wife and growing daughters.

Trading Steel for Stone:
Tales of a Rustbelt Refugee Turned Rocky Mountain Rescuer
Tom Wood
When the author began his career as a volunteer mountain rescuer with the Alpine Rescue
Team in Colorado seventeen years ago, he was a clueless Youngstowner fresh off the interstate from Ohio who didn’t know Gore-Tex from Tex-Mex. He had a lifetime of ridiculously dangerous pursuits and backcountry sins to atone for, so he became a Rocky Mountain
rescuer with the intention of repaying the massive karmic debt he had accumulated. This is
the story of how a career in volunteer service to others transformed a self-absorbed Rustbelt
redneck adrenaline junkie into one of the nation’s leading voices in technical rope rescue.

Wild in the City: Fauna & Flora of Colorado Urban Spaces
Heidi Snyder & Dorothy DePaulo
Join artists Dorothy DePaulo and Heidi Snyder on an inspirational journey of discovery as they explore the
plants and animals in the parks and open spaces in the Front Range of Colorado. Both are nationally and
internationally recognized artists and have spent countless hours of field observation and taken thousands of
reference photos (some featured in the book) in urban green areas. Based on these references they have created
detailed and scientifically correct drawings presented in an artistic manner. These gorgeous colored pencil
drawings are unique in that the fauna and flora are shown in relationship to each other. The subjects of these
drawings have been extensively researched and are accompanied by interesting facts. The purpose of the book
is to raise public awareness on how nature interacts with an ever-changing environment and is intended to
further reveal the range of plants and animals living in urban spaces. Due to its multi-media/multi-discipline
approach, the book will span all age groups and appeal to many interest groups.

Sand Dune Daisy
Text by Lili DeBarbieri
Illustrations by M. Fred Barraza

Fred Barraza, is a magical blend of art, high adventure, and natural history. Daisy is a playful, young
pocket mouse who must navigate her way through a challenging environment meeting a colorful
cast of desert characters and conditions along the way. DeBarbieri’s charming narrative takes readers
on an action-packed journey through this dune locale with charismatic desert wildlife and ecology.
The book is inspired by the real but little known wonderland that is the sand dunes of the American
Southwest, igniting wonder for the natural world in children of all ages.

Rock Art: A Vision of a
Vanishing Cultural Landscape
Jonathan Bailey
An anthology by noted Southwest writers and rock art
experts on the destruction of rock art sites by development, vandalism, and increasing visitation. Most rock art
books look at the imagery as two dimensional—restricted
to the icons and symbols as carved on the rock face. In
reality, the landscape is a vital clue, not only these people
collectively, but also these people as individuals. The canyon country does not contain sites and panels but rather
a large inter-connected cultural landscape.

Chicago 1935
Nicolas D. Charles
Join Nick Verriet, Chicago’s most famous private
investigator during the Great Depression, as he becomes
embroiled in twelve more zany cases leading up to
Christmas Day, 1935. With a devil-may-care attitude, he
attracts more than his share of women and trouble while
bringing justice to bear upon the criminal class. Crucially
aware of the plight of the common man, he’s generous to
a fault, always on the side of the little guy (and not-solittle gal). This is the second book in the series, the first is
The 12 Days of Christmas: Chicago 1934.

Search and Rescue in Colorado’s
Sangre de Cristos
Kevin G. Wright
Foreword by Wayne K. Sheldrake, author of Instant Karma
The author is the former president, lead trainer, and field team lead of the
Alamosa Volunteer Search And Rescue team. His intent is to share information that could help “peak baggers” reduce their risk in the Sangres,
educate the public about the realities faced by small, rural, mountain SAR
teams, and entertain anyone curious about true first responder stories. The
exciting and fast-paced stories—detailing several body recoveries, rescues,
and a couple of cases of missing people—cover the areas and activities that
pose the greatest risk to mountaineers and other outdoor enthusiasts in the
Sangre de Cristos, one of the most extreme mountain groups in the state.
Wisconsin Logging Camp, 1921:
A Boy’s Extraordinary First Year in America Working
as a “Chickadee”
James Bastian
A beautifully written historical fiction novel
set primarily in the north woods of Wisconsin
during 1920 and 1921. The narrative entwines
the fictional story of an eight-year-old boy,
Will, within that period’s rich historic context.
The story meticulously incorporates the history
of logging in Wisconsin, the flu pandemic,
Prohibition, World War I, and post-war American culture, specific to that time and place.
Will’s story reflects the challenges, hardships,
and ethnic discrimination faced and overcome
by American immigrants, then and now. These
themes remain as relevant today as they were
in 1920, and portray an archetypal immigrant experience, which is part of the proud,
shared heritage of all Americans. The colorful
language, rich history, characters, and Wild
West atmosphere of the region will appeal to
all readers.
Married to
the Trail:
Hiking the Continental Divide Trail
Mary Moynihan
A travel narrative that tells the story of the author’s 133-day solo hike
along the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), one that blends the scenic
beauty of nature with that of emotional honesty. The route leaves the
Mexico border and threads its way north through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. It walks through some of the
most exceptional land of our country, and yet few wander its entirety.
At twenty-seven and as a solo female, the author yearned to be one of
those few. It’s a demanding trail, one marked by weather extremes like
heavy snowpack, flooded rivers, and thirty-mile waterless gaps, as well
as prolonged solitude and navigational challenges that require adept
map and compass skills … or sheer luck.

Fredericks’ Walking With Dinosaurs.
Anthony treks across Colorado in
search of the bones left behind by the
dinosaurs that once lived here. What
he finds is an abundance of sites where
the distant past is still within view,
often just a short walk away from
the road.

Fly fishing in Colorado is huge. As one
would expect, there are no shortage
of fly fishing guides. But whereas other
guides focus on particular waters, this
guide is organized by region, centering
on locations out of which fly fishers
can “home base.” In other words, this
book is organized the same way that
people organize their fly fishing trips.

Colorado’s Forgotten
Hollow Sidewalks
Tracy Beach
Underground hollow sidewalks and
vaults had many uses when they were
first installed in the late 1800s. Vaults
allowed businesses to expand and
utilize the unused spaces beneath sidewalks and alleys for storage and coal
delivery. Hollow sidewalks allowed
for delivery of merchandise, and to
allow people to travel from one place
to another without being seen (think
prostitutes and speakeasy’s during Prohibition). The author covers fourteen
cities in Colorado.

of the Past
William L. Reich
The 59ers who came to Colorado for

spent their gold.

My Life as a Whore
The Biography of Madam
Laura Evens (1871–1953)
Tracy Beach
An extensively researched book about
a well-known Colorado madam, but
most of what’s known about her is
wrong, including the spelling of her
last name. Follow the antics of Laura
as she works in parlors in Denver,
Leadville, and Salida, until she
opens her own house. Laura’s house
stayed open longer than any other in
Colorado, due largely to the unusual
qualities of its owner.

The town of Moab is a fascinating

difference. For one thing, storytelling is more fun. History tends to
bog down in the minutia of events.
Telling stories, on the other hand, still
conveys the truth of historical events
but without the stress and clutter of
academic anxiety.

Why let a little thing like the stock market
crash of 1929 stop the revelry after the roaring twenties. Meet Nick Verriet, Chicago’s

Great Depression, and his loyal amanuensis,
Amanda Carlisle, as they become embroiled

Day, 1934. A good read for any time of year.
Join Nick Verriet, Chicago’s most famous private investigator
during the Great Depression, as he becomes embroiled in
twelve more zany cases leading up to Christmas Day, 1935.
With a devil-may-care attitude, he attracts more than his share
of women and trouble while bringing justice to bear upon the
criminal class. Crucially aware of the plight of the common
man, he’s generous to a fault, always on the side of the little
guy (and not-so-little gal). This is the second book in the

Descendants of Wounded Knee
The Ultimate Sacrifice on the Pine Ridge Reservation
Alan Hafer with Sandy Sauser
In Collaboration with Members of the Oglala Tribe of
Pine Ridge
In the summer of 1999, Wally Black Elk set off on the two-mile walk from
the Pine Ridge Reservation to the tiny border town of Whiteclay, Nebraska.
Three days later his horribly mutilated body was discovered next to that of his
drinking companion, Ronnie Hard Heart. The murders of the two men are
still unsolved and continue to cause brutal clashes between border town cops
and the Oglala Lakota.
The book uses the murders of Wally Black Elk and Ronnie Hard Heart as
a backdrop to the tribe’s historical battle against colonization and a reservation
system predicated on assimilation. Life on the Pine Ridge, one of the most
violent places in America, is a daily struggle with poverty, disease, alcoholism,
and too often brutality. Told with candor, Descendants of Wounded Knee is an
unvarnished account of life on the Pine Ridge.

“Such a fine writer is Merrill
Gilfillan that the urge to simply

is difficult to stifle. The line
between poetry and essay, the
two forms in which he writes,
seems negligible, so keen and

In this third book of novelist
Gary Reilly’s Asphalt Warrior
series, Murph once again fails
spectacularly at staying out of
the lives of those he transports
the second he picks up a “mover” named Trowbridge. “Movers” in Murph’s world are not
to be confused with “movers
and shakers.” Trowbridge pays
his fare with a crisp five-dollar
bill. Later, Murph finds an
enigmatic hand-written note
on the bill.
Murph abandons his cab and
the mean streets of Denver for
his hometown, his “dear ol’
Maw,” and an Irish Catholic
clan the size of County Cork.
It’s Christmas in Wichita. The
fourth book in the Asphalt
Warrior series has Murph
reluctantly re-establishing
relationships with his brother
and sisters while trying to save
an old friend from making a
soul-killing mistake: seeking a
socially acceptable job.

Murph once again violates
his vow never to get involved
in the lives of his passengers.
This time he is out to rescue
two young neo-hippie girls
he believes have come under
the spell of a cult leader in a
commune outside Boulder.
The fifth book in the Asphalt
Warrior series has Murph going undercover to accomplish
his mission. He tries to pass
himself off as an old love
child in his confrontation
with Brother Chakra. As the
good Brother might say, “It’s a
mind-blowing trip.”
Introducing Denverite Brendan Murphy… or “Murph” as
he’s known to the rest of the
world. He lives alone in his
crow’s nest apartment, fries
a hamburger for every meal,
does his dish, then channel
surfs for reruns of “Gilligan’s Island.” He is a radical
minimalist. He strives to earn
no more money as a driver for
Rocky Mountain Taxi Company than his needs require.

This is the second book of The
Asphalt Warrior series. Late
one evening, Murph picks up
a fare, an inebriated young
woman dressed as a flapper.
She is attending the Mile-Hi
Film Festival, and before you
know it, Murph is trying to
return her left-behind purse,
which is stuffed with cash.
Suprisingly, the girl turns up
missing as well.

The latest books in the Asphalt Warrior series, Dark Night of the Soul
and Pickup at Union Station, are available through Ingram’s.
Pepperland
The Enlisted Men’s Club
Barry Wightman
Gary Reilly
This book is a ‘70s rock and roll race
through the heartland of America—
a love letter to the power of new-fangled computers and the importance
of a guitar pick. Pepperland is about
missing information, missing people,
missing guitars, paranoia, brothers,
revolution, Agents of the Federal
Government, IBM, Hugh Hefner, a
Dark Stranger, love, death and the
search for it amidst the wreckage
of recession-wracked, entropically
rundown mid-seventies America.
The Enlisted Men’s Club is the first of a trilogy of
stories about Vietnam by the late Gary Reilly,
based on his experiences in Vietnam. Private
Palmer is stationed at San Francisco’s army base
at The Presidio, awaiting orders. He’s trying to
find his place in the ranks. He’s trying to avoid
work. While he’s been trained as a Military
Policeman, he has no idea what’s next. Private
Palmer focuses his attention on killing time,
finding cold beer and thinking up ways to
survive each day. The trick, he decides, is not
to care about anything during his time in the
Army. To his surprise, that’s the most difficult
challenge of all.
