Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Pueblo, Hardscrabble, and Greenhorn were among the very first white settlements in Colorado. In their time they were the most westerly settlements in American territory, and they attracted a lively and varied population of mavericks from more civilized parts of the world-from what became New Mexico to the south and from as far east as England. "A significant and first-class work concerning the northern fringe of the American Southwest along the Arkansas River, east of the front range of the mountains of Colorado."--Arizona and the West "I loved Janet Lecompte's Pueblo, Hardscrabble, Greenhorn--it is one of those rare gems . . . that make a part of the West, its time, and its people come vividly and unforgettably alive."--Alvin M. Josephy, Jr.
