| In Brief: | The Last of the Cowboys in the Roaring Fork Valley and Beyond |
The reminiscences gathered by Anita Witt in this book add an important page to the history of Western Colorado. The photos bring the reader face to face with each cowboy, each story, and a way of life that is passing as most of the ranches are falling prey to the creeping encroachment of land developers. Here is the chance to also find out about raising potatoes, cattle and sheep, grain; digging irrigation ditches by hand; box socials and auctions; square dances and old schoolhouses-all an important part of the real West.
