Now I'm taking the time to find/buy the other books in this series because it was so great! I cant wait to read more! I loved it! It was definately different and a lot more interesting than the average "romance" novel and it was so different that you could swear it was a true story. Do yourself a favor and get the whole series.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Vicki Lewis Thompsonkept me turning the pages, wondering what was going to happen next! Ijust started the next book in the series, Two In the Saddle and I can't wait to see what happens! () Read the book and make your own conclusions! A great read.

Ledbetter's deft handling of humor and human passions has become her trademark (I've read all of her work) Colorado Reverie combines a well-researched western setting, fast-paced action, and a plot whose twist will leave you blinking. Don't start it unless you have time to read it in one sitting!

Colorado Reverie, Suzann Ledbetter's fourth western/historical novel, is a fine, fast-moving read. The setting is Colorado Territory, the time the Civil War -- but the focus, as always with Ledbetter, is on character. Dianna Redieu is a fictional romantic heroine, a lady gambler, a Yankee spy. But at the end of the book -- the Epilogue and the Author's Note -- the reader is propelled back to the Prologue and only then begins to realize the complex relationship between Beryl Crookshank of Toodam, Kansas, and Dianna Redieu of Denver City and Pueblo, Colorado. Between the "dreaming and the coming true," this book will please a wide spectrum or readers

Glen Canyon before Lake Powell is at once a beautiful and tragic book. It consists of a collection of photographs--mostly color--of the landscape now hidden beneath the eerie turquoise waters of Lake Powell, a vast man-made reservoir on the Colorado River near the Utah-Arizona border. Editor Eleanor Inskip has skillfully paired each photograph with quotations from those who knew Glen Canyon before the water began to rise on that fateful day in January 1963. Explorers, river runners, popular writers, archaeologists, historians, and environmentalists all find a voice in this extraordinary collection, but the work's greatest strength is nevertheless its images.

The book is neither strident nor moralizing in tone. Instead, a sense of quiet grief pervades. The photographs speak for themselves, as do the observations so eloquently captured in the accompanying quotations. In the end, the questions raised are unspoken but obvious: Who are we to decide the fate of an organism so alive and so vital as a river? What have we lost in our relentless quest for the "good life?" And can it in fact be a "good life" with the waters of the Colorado stilled? Inskip respects her readers enough to let them judge for themselves.

Admirers of Eliot Porter's famous The Place No One Knew, now out of print, will find this to be an appropriate companion volume. Very highly recommended.

Through carefully chosen photographs and comments of people who experienced Glen Canyon before it was inundated by Lake Powell, Inskip presents a moving portrait of sinuous sandstone channels, lush microclimates, and the favorite beaches we will never again view.

We've been to Colorado a number of times but had no idea most of the sites described ever existed. I guess that's because most guidebooks don't include things accessable only by dirt roads. If you have or can rent a four wheel drive, this is a must.

This book is very fascinating and informative.
My boyfriend are relocating to the Denver area, and this book really caught our eye. We found it VERY helpful to know what type of weather to expect in Colorado.
This book has beautiful pictures of the different types of weather which occurs in Colorado: lightning, hail, tornadoes, blizzards, avalanches, floods, and etc...
It even gives historical pictures of extreme weather phenomena which occured in Colorado's past.
The chapters are broken down into these categories:
Chapter 1: Colorado Spring
Chapter 2: Colorado Summer
Chapter 3: Colorado Autumn
Chapter 4: Colorado Winter
Chapter 5: Weather of the Century
Chapter 6: Storm Chasing
Chapter 7: Meteorology or Media-rology?
Chapter 8: Photographing weather
Chapter 9: The Fragile Planet

Every page features spectacular color photos of various weather patterns. In the back of the book are various weather-related websites.
I am originally from Kansas, which is part of "Tornado Alley" - and I amazed that Colorado also has tornadoes--which I never knew- (although they are more likely to occur on the far eastern plains).
I had no idea that the eastern plains of Colorado are also one of the hail capitols of the world.
This book is truly captivating for anyone who is fascinated by weather. I highly recommend it.

Colorado is known for its mountains, but it could be easily famous for its high-drama weather. This book explains the relationship between the mountains and weather phenomenon such as Colorado's wild hail storms and its towering thunder clouds. It offers scientific explanations that don't require a science degree to follow, as well as lots of history and great weather stories. It's topped off with truly awesome photography.

It's a great book for anyone whose curiousity about weather extends past tomorrows forcast.

I bought this book when I first moved here. I wanted to find some fun things to do. I was suprised at all the different events that this book covers. Some are more interesting than others but all in all a great book I have tried a few of there reccomendations and would agree with the author's conclusions.

Colorado's Best By Bruce Calighey and Doug Whitehead

Reviewed by Curt Peoples

With so much travel information on the Internet, I sometimes wonder: Why do authors continue to write travel books? Colorado's Best answers the question by showing that the best travel authors still write about places they've personally visited and enjoyed. If you like Colorado (or think might like Colorado), you should buy this book.

The authors are well qualified. Bruce Calighey has written The Colorado Guide, now in its fourth edition. Doug Whitehead produces Colorado Getaways, a weekly travel television show in Denver - he's like the Charles Kuralt of Colorado.

The authors take you to every corner of the state, with over 200 entries of the best cultural and historical places, outdoor activities and events, and places to eat, drink and stay. The book entertains because the "bests" listed are truly remarkable, sometimes bizarre and not always on the beaten track. My three favorites: Best Way to "Get in the Mood" at the Glen Miller Festival in Fort Morgan, Best Hot Springs at Mount Princeton, and Best Drive-In Without a Car in Monte Vista.

Most atypical, compared to many travel guides, is the writing style: personal and thoughtful with a tone that says, "I really like this place, I think you will too!" I want to take my daughter to the Kit Carson County Carousel because the authors have done it themselves, stopping for a short rest and staying for hours. I want to go to Crested Butte because it's apparent Mr. Calighey and Mr. Whitehead have been there, sampled the restaurants, and now recommend the four best in town. They suggest a few hills they've skied that I've never seen in the slick brochures.

Best piece of writing in the book: the description of the Sand Creek Massacre Memorial. It starts, "Certainly 'best' isn't the most precise word to describe this simple, yet hauntingly affecting memorial to the brutal and unjustified murder of American Indians by U.S. troops, but the event without question merits consideration." In four poignant paragraphs, you'll be compelled to learn more about the lost ways of traditional Native American life. This is what travel writing should be.

I especially like the watermelon pictures

This book includes many, many wonderful historical photographs of Colorado landscape. The authors describe it as "a work of landscape history, landscape understanding, and landscape appreciation." I have no background in landscape history but found this book easily accessible, finely written, and stimulating. I live in Colorado, and this book inspired me to spend more time getting to know this state -- and helped me to see the landscape around me in new ways
