From her birth in a one-room cabin the 1930s on the Northern Cheyenne reservation in Montana, Ann Strange Owl's memoir chronicles her remarkable life through BIA boarding school to her escape from the reservation as a dental assistant, to being a contestant in the first Miss Indian America contests in Sheridan, WY. Her ancestral stories cover much of the history of the West from a personal perspective. She tells of her "illegal" marriage to a white man, a career as an entrepreneur, actress, model, and world traveler. Her path led her finally to ownership of a most unique trading post, Eagle Plume's near Estes Park, CO. Rich in photographs and historical information, hers is a unique tale and a fascinating slice of Native American and Western history.

America's Switzerland, a companion volume to This Blue Hollow, is the first comprehensive history of Rocky Mountain National Park and its neighboring town, Estes Park, during the decades when travel became a middle-class rite of summer. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources and extensive archival research, James H. Pickering reveals how the evolution of tourism and America's fascination with the "western experience" shaped the park and town from 1903 to 1945. America's Switzerland provides extensive information, much of it new to historical literature, on how Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park - the most visited national park west of the Mississippi - developed to welcome ever-growing crowds. Pickering profiles the individuals behind the development and details the challenges park and town confronted during decades that included two world wars and the Great Depression.
