Von der hinteren Coverseite

An ancient people, the Anasazi, constructed elaborate towns in the cliffs of southern Colorado, only to abandon the area at the very height of their civilization. How does an entire culture manage to vanish into thin air?
In 1864, the Reynolds gang robbed a wagon train of more than $60,000. At the end of a long, bloody chase, the outlaws' loot remained missing. Is there a treasure trove of gold and jewels still buried in the hills outside of Fairplay?
And in 1969, Thomas Riha, a professor of Russian and art history, disappeared amid gossip that he might have been working undercover for the KGB. Was this a case of rumor run amok, or was Colorado actually harboring a sinister spy?
From Buffalo Bill and P.T. Barnum to the naming of Colfax Avenue, author Jan Murphy makes history fun, pulling the curtain back on some of the West's most fascinating and compelling stories.
