The Exploration Of The Colorado River And Its Canyons | On May 24, 1869, ten men in four boats pushed off at Green River, Wyoming. On August 30, six men in two boats down to their last ten pounds of moldy flour, fifteen pounds of dried and re-dried and re-dried apples and a few pounds of coffee, came out into open country at the mouth of the Virgin River - blackened, bearded, emaciated, in rags - and saw three Mormons and an Indian seining for fish in the shallows. This is a griping tale of the first trip down the Colorado River. |

Rising from the Plains | This is the story of an isolated ranch in the center of Wyoming, soon after the turn of the century, and of the geologist who grew up there, at home with the composition of the high country in the way that someone growing up in a coastal harbor would be at home with the vagaries of the sea. |

Wildflowers of
Wyoming |
Even with its craggy peaks and dusty plains, scorching sun and subzero temperatures, Wyoming's terrain and climate are not nearly as diverse as its wildflowers. From the rosy purple moss campion that blankets the state's treeless tundra to the lavender-flowered beardtongue found in roadside ditches across the plains, Wyoming's wildflowers brighten the Cowboy State's rugged and forbidding landscape. |

Horses: A Spirit Unbroken |
Wild Horses exist in as diverse and hostile locations as the arid deserts of India and the remote sandbanks of Sable Island off the coast of Nova Scotia. This book traces their origins and explains how geographic history and crossbreeding have influenced their development and provided the variety of breeds that now exist worldwide. Excellent photography catches many of the breeds and their habitats in vivid color. |
