Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu.

In 1877, the Ripleys, who operated a newspaper in Canon City, Colorado, decided to join the 'San Juan Excitement' by moving to Ouray and starting the Ouray Times. Their month-long journey to the mining boomtown involved driving six wagons over the Otto Mears' toll road from Saguache. However, the only evidence of the road to Henry's recollection was being periodically 'held up' for a toll. The first edition of the Ouray Times, was well received - 'as much as the first baby.' But, in just a few years, Henry and Martha faced strong competition from famed newspaper publisher Dave Day and his Solid Muldoon. After the Ute Indians were removed from northern and central Colorado, the Ripleys decided to leave Ouray and settle in the Uncompahgre Valley. Henry, Martha and their children became farmers and ranchers in the Montrose area and even got involved in mining. Unfortunately, Henry died when Hand-Clasp of the East and West was about two-thirds finished, and it was left to Martha to complete the book.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to the late 19th century, a time of westward expansion and the allure of a new frontier. We meet the Barton family, living a comfortable but somewhat stagnant life on their family farm in the East. The author paints a vivid picture of their daily routines, their love for their home, and the subtle discontent that simmers beneath the surface. Their son, Tom, fresh out of college with a degree in civil and mining engineering, feels the pull of the West. He yearns for a life of opportunity and challenge, a desire fueled by letters from a friend who has found success in the Rocky Mountains. The Bartonsââ ⢠journey is one of family, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of those who dared to embrace the unknown. It delves into the complex emotions of leaving behind a familiar world for the promise of a new one. The author masterfully captures the anxieties of the Bartons, their struggles to let go of the familiar and their longing for something more. The story explores the timeless themes of individual ambition, the allure of the unexplored, and the strength of family bonds in the face of change. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history, reminding us of the courage it took to forge new paths and build a future on the untamed frontier.
