Download or read book Weird Wild West written by Keven McQueen and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From gruesome murders to ghost sightings, a collection of historical stories ranging from terrifying Texas to spooky South Dakota. The Wild West is infamous for its outrageous stories, cowboys, and gun battles. But the region is also known for its ghost stories, unexplained deaths, bizarre murders, and peculiar burials. This book features numerous tales of true crime and odd phenomena from the frontier—from an investigation into a series of massacres that a female suspect claimed were committed by a religious cult to a body buried in the middle of a road and much more. Drawing on newspaper reports from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, it’s a chilling tour of the farmhouses, saloons, graveyards, and gallows of the West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Slope towns of Gunnison and Crested Butte are defined by their placement in the Colorado Rockies.

Download or read book Dudeville written by J.D. Kleinke and published by Belgrave House. This book was released on 2017-11-13 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine Huck Finn "lighting out for the territories" 150 years later, this time as a late-30s corporate dropout turned backcountry snowboarder and mountain climber. Dudeville is a coming-of-middle-age adventure story, set in and all around small-town Colorado during the outdoor sports explosion of the 1990s. Inspired by a wide and wild range of influences -- from Thoreau, Whitman, Muir and Twain, to Jack Kerouac, Edward Abbey and Warren Miller -- Dudeville is equal parts extreme sports tale, male bonding romp, and reluctant love story, a sensuous, lyrical, exuberant exploration of the American West. Dudeville's author, J.D. Kleinke, was a serious health care guy in Baltimore until he discovered snowboarding, hang gliding, jam bands, and the raw spiritual power of life above treeline . . . and moved to Colorado. He is the author of three books about medicine in America, including Catching Babies, a novel about the culture of maternity care and childbirth. He has also been involved in the formation, management, and governance of several health care companies and non-profit organizations. His work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and dozens of medical and business publications. He lives with his wife in Half Moon Bay, California, and Portland, Oregon. From Dudeville: "From this summit, the horizon seesaws open into an electric blue dream of Colorado sky. The adolescent swagger and brawn of the Rockies is nothing like the stooped and rounded hills back east. Spiked with mammoth formations of rock and ice, this vast, continental cacophony is the very roof of the world, pushed skyward by geologic time while collapsing under its own weight. I drop in, and surf off the wind-scoured edge, working the margin between transcendent bliss and utter catastrophe, a controlled fury exploding from my core into arcing snowboard turns as I crisscross the fall-line and dissolve into gravity..."

Book Synopsis Law and Disorder in Crested Butte by : Hjalmar St. Pierre Sundin
Download or read book Law and Disorder in Crested Butte written by Hjalmar St. Pierre Sundin and published by . This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s, the isolated semi-deserted Colorado mining town of Crested Butte unwittingly became a unique sociological experiment. The opening of a ski area on nearby Mt. Crested Butte in the late 1960s attracted an influx of the "hippy" generation (mostly in their twenties), who soon outnumbered the much older resident population of about 300 (mostly retired miners and their wives), and took over the governance of the community. Despite dire predictions, Crested Butte did not go off the deep end, but its character changed dramatically to the casual free-spirited lifestyle of its new residents. There is no better insight into this mutation than in the police blotter that appeared in the weekly newspaper, laced with humor and ribaldry from the collaborative effort of the Town Marshall and the editor-owner of the newspaper - both in their twenties or early thirties. "Law & Disorder in Crested Butte" presents some of the choicer entries from 1972-1983.
