The rise of mountains and the spread of deserts has marked the geologic history of Arizona. Landscapes that we see today are here because of landscapes of the past, and because of tremendous forces deep within the earth, forces that carry continents into collisions and then drag them apart again, forces of heat and pressure and the slow churning boil of the earth's interior. Landscape features result, too, from more comprehensible, more recent forces: the unending attack of water and wind and frost, the building of volcanoes, the short-term geologic happenings like landslides and rockfalls, earthquakes and floods, and a gopher digging a hole.

The Bozeman Trail led to the goldfields of Montana for six years in the 1860s before the army abandoned its three forts along the way, yielding to Red Cloud and his warriors. Hailed by A. B. Guthrie Jr. as "among the very best in the American Trail series,"The Bloody Bozeman weaves an "almost seamless" pattern of destiny and adventure.

Genre Fiction

Leadville is a first-rate frontier epic, with romance and excitement enough for ten cities. The real story of Leadville, Colorado is beyond the portals--it is of the men who worked the mines, of thundering rock drills and dynamite fumes, of metals torn from mountains in a grim, determined, and all too often tragic effort.

Here Joe Meek continues his collaboration with Frances Fuller Victor, telling the story of his own colorful life and the tale of his times. This is a memoir that has proved immediately and endearingly popular upon its publication more than a century ago through the present day. In this volume, Meek is shown is his roles as pioneer, sheriff, U. S. Marshall, even legislator--Citizen Joe. Through Meek's pungent recollections, his engaging memoir also becomes an important history of Oregon's turbulent formative years--the struggles of the missionaries, the other early settlers, the Hudson's Bay Company, and the Indians that shaped a territory and finally a state.
