Book Synopsis The Eastern San Juan Mountains by : Rob Blair
Download or read book The Eastern San Juan Mountains written by Rob Blair and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis The San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado by : P. David Smith
Download or read book The San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado written by P. David Smith and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concentrating on unique events, people whose stories have never fully been told, and a few "new" facts, The San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado - Calderas, Mastodons, Conquistadors, and Gold provides a wealth of information, starting with the true boundaries of Colorado's San Juans. Through extensive research, P. David Smith destroys many long standing theories about this mysterious range, showing that Paleo hunters lived in the San Juans year round and the Spanish prospected almost continuously in the area but had little luck smelting the gold and silver ores. Smith shows how the Utes went from one of the poorest Native American tribes to one of the richest and points out that the Pueblo Indians (Anasazi) were the first of the historic tribes in Colorado and the San Juans. He also notes that Coronado or his men may well have been in the San Juans, rightfully looking for "Cibolla" amidst what has proven to be extremely mineral-rich terrain. Detailing the beginnings of the historically rich San Juans of Colorado, this work is one that both historians and history-lovers have awaited. It is true history that may be stranger than fiction. But it may also be true history that will enlighten those who visit and live in this unique part of the world.

Book Synopsis San Juan Skyway by : Frederic B. Wildfang
Download or read book San Juan Skyway written by Frederic B. Wildfang and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "scenic route" in southwestern Colorado means the San Juan Skyway, a 236-mile loop created by U.S. Routes 550 and 160 and State Routes 62 and 145. The Skyway wends through glacial valleys and over high passes between some of the most breathtaking, ice-sculpted peaks in the Rocky Mountains. Native Americans, pioneering mountain men, miners, and railroaders inhabited these slopes. Although the Skyway towns of Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Ridgway, Telluride, Rico, Dolores, and Cortez were first connected by wilderness trails and railways, the loop's final modern section of highway between Coal Bank and Molas Passes was completed in the 1940s. The rugged San Juan Mountains were the backdrop for exploits by Butch Cassidy and Wyatt Earp, but, as author Frederic B. Wildfang notes, the scenery is also "a syllabus for a course in geology."
Book Synopsis Tiny Hinsdale of the Silvery San Juan by : Clarence Wright
Download or read book Tiny Hinsdale of the Silvery San Juan written by Clarence Wright and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 204 pages. 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."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Across the San Juan Mountains On a superb morning in September, that month of many colors, four of us1 started on a ride among the min ing districts of the San Juan, in southwestern Colorado. The starting point was Ouray, the picturesque little town named after the old chief, an Indian of renown, the friend of the white men who first explored the mountain fast nesses of the Uncompahgre. From Ouray we rode across the ranges to T'elluride, Silverton, Lake City, Gunnison, and thence to Crested Butte and back, following a course which, on the map, looks like a figure 8, with Ouray at the base of the lower loop and Crested Butte at the top. See map. The distance was slightly over 400 miles; the country traversed is beautiful to the traveler and interest ing to the mining engineer, so that the experience was sufficiently rich in incidents and information to warrant the account which it is my purpose to present.
