[Beth · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love words and I love scenic Colorado, so it was especially enjoyable to read a word artist's descriptions of this state. It was especially gratifying to learn how she was so unimpressed when she first arrived in Colorado Springs (for her health) and yet to read such vibrant travel essays as she wrote and published in Eastern newspapers only months after her arrival. A small book, but delightful.
