Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carolyn and Clarence Wright lovingly wrote Tiny Hinsdale of the Silvery San Juan after "intense work, research, and devotion to task." First published in 1964, but out of print for many years, this history of Hinsdale County is an exciting and delightful read that captures the ups and downs of a rich mining area and the subsequent booms and busts of the county and Lake City, its county seat. Based on personal and family experiences, this book provides an intimacy of culture and events that only those who have "lived or shared the life" can portray. It also boasts many photographs of a time-gone-by that can be found nowhere else. As the dust jacket of the first edition of this title states, "No other persons could have told the history of Hinsdale County from such personal sources, and lovers of Western history will be grateful that the Wrights have performed this labor of love. The ninety-four pictures alone are an irreplaceable treasure."

Book excerpt: A companion to The Western San Juan Mountains (originally published in 1996), The Eastern San Juan Mountains details the physical environment, biological communities, human history, and points of interest in this rich and diverse mountain system. A natural division between the eastern and western slopes of the San Juans is the north-south line that runs approximately through Lake City, south of the crossing of the Piedra River by US Highway 160. In this super guidebook, twenty-seven contributors--all experts in their fields--artfully bring the geology, hydrology, animal and plant life, human histories, and travel routes of these eastern slopes to life. Designed to inform researchers, educators, and students about the region's complex systems, The Eastern San Juan Mountains also serves as an informative guidebook to accompany visitors along their travels on the Silver Thread National Scenic Byway, which stretches between South Fork and Lake City. The Eastern San Juan Mountains deserves a place next to The Western San Juan Mountains on the bookshelf of every naturalist, researcher, resident, educator, student, and tourist seeking a greater understanding of this marvelous place and its history.
