Long before the first ski runs were ever carved into the mountains of Vail and Beaver Creek, Eagle County drew adventurous settlers and pioneers who brought life to the mines and the Eagle River Valley. Allow local journalist and historian Kathy Heicher to introduce you to the Doll brothers as they establish their ranching and business legacy. Ride a stagecoach with Sarah Doherty, Cattle Queen of the Badlands. Follow Jake Borah through bear country with President Theodore Roosevelt and his "hunting cabinet." Trail cattle alongside Ellis "Bearcat" Bearden and his ranching family. Meet a cast of characters whose stories arc across decades and reach the very roots of this beautiful mountain valley.

Starting as a trickle in the Rocky Mountains, the Eagle River emerges in a glacial valley, cuts through a spectacular gorge near Red Cliff, and then creates the broad flood plain of the Eagle River Valley. At Dotsero, the river joins the mighty Colorado River. As long as humans have settled along the river, they have depended on it for their livelihood, trapping beaver for hats, mining gold and silver, collecting water for locomotive engines and channeling it for crops and ranching, harvesting ice for food preservation, and, most recently, converting water into snow with modern machines. Today the Eagle River Valley is the backbone of two of the greatest ski areas in the world, Vail and Beaver Creek. Sparkling through the ancient riverbed, the Eagle River continues its course to this day, flowing through the same valley that drew pioneers here in the 19th century.

As a young boy, Verne Albertson didn¿t like school. He preferred roaming the valleys and meadows of Burns, Colorado, Eagle County¿s prime cattle-raising country. What reasonable ranch kid would want to be stuck in a one-room schoolhouse learning math, spelling and reading when he could be out riding horses, fishing or hunting gophers with his trusty ¿beanie¿? The teachers didn¿t always appreciate Verne¿s shenanigans. Consequently, he spent quite a bit of time standing in the corner pondering the importance of education. This memoir reveals the life of a rural Colorado ranch kid in the 1940s. Albertson describes the little joys (stick horse rodeos) and bigger challenges (dodging mean chickens) of growing up in a much simpler time. Readers will find themselves longing for those long-lost days.
