As a member of the 1874 Hayden Expedition, Ingersoll became enthralled with this special land. And, although he wrote about mining, ranching, agriculture, and other commerce of the time, his descriptive style was a perfect match for the \"high Rockies\" and Colorado's awesome scenery, restful health resorts, and what is now Northern New Mexico and eastern Utah.  In Crest of the Continent, Ingersoll brings the \"Colorado experience\" to life, perhaps better than anyone else before or since, with words and illustrations that record for all time what it was like to live in the Wild (and majestically wonderful) West. Today's tourist and historian will find this reprint of Ingersoll's Crest of the Continent a very enjoyable book; one that will be read and referred to often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212835840307,"sku":"9781932738889","price":43.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/fLEtdQehp79781932738889.webp?v=1775687856","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/crest-of-the-continent-colorado-utah-new-mexico-in-1895-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
