A naturalist and his party travel through the Rockies in a private railway car, roughing it cheerfully along the foothills to the spas and furnaces of Pueblo, over the Sangre de Cristo range to San Luis Park, and south into New Mexico among Hispanic villages and Pueblo peoples. He writes about hot springs, trout streams, mining camps and spectacular canyons.
A handsome record of the Colorado frontier just as the railroads opened it to tourists. Download the free EPUB.
