Rob Schultheis Fools Gold: Lives, Loves, And Misadventures In The Four Corners Country
GLOBE PEQUOT ( THE LYONS PRESS 1585748641 / 9781585748648 Paperback BOOK
Remarkable collection of essays on the last of America?s great frontiers. 6x9 inches, 240 pgs.
'From the author of The Hidden West comes a remarkable collection of essays on the last of America's great frontiers.
Telluride, Colorado, is a seven-hour drive from Denver and located in the heart of the Four Corners, the only place in America where four states (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona) meet one another. Known for droughts, cloudbursts, massive snow piles, and 12,000-plus-foot mountains, Telluride is also a place where cultures collide.
When Rob Schultheis arrived in Telluride in 1973, his first home was a tarpaper sheepherder's shack, and Telluride was a sleepy, remote mining town where local families had lived for generations, and where officially extinct wolverines and grizzly bears still roamed the countryside.
This priceless collection of essays will appeal to nature lovers, history buffs, and all who are drawn to the mystery, romance, and drama of the American West.

'Tim Cahill, author of Jaguars Ripped My Flesh and Pecked to Death by Ducks
'Fool's Gold comes like a cold mountain wind: fresh, sharp, and able to blow the dust off your heart.'
'Louise Redd, author of Playing the Bones and Hangover Soup
