description: Telluride, Colorado, is a seven-hour drive from Denver and located in the heart of the Four Corners, the only place in America where four states (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona) meet one another. Known for droughts, cloudbursts, massive snow piles, and 12,000-plus-foot mountains, Telluride is also a place where cultures collide.When Rob Schultheis arrived in Telluride in 1973, his first home was a tarpaper sheepherder's shack, and Telluride was a sleepy, remote mining town where local families had lived for generations, and where officially extinct wolverines and grizzly bears still roamed the countryside.This priceless collection of essays will appeal to nature lovers, history buffs, and all who are drawn to the mystery, romance, and drama of the American West.
