" . . . a tremendous cast of characters coming alive."
"Old trails and wagon roads are pulsating landmarks, travel-dreams that speak of men and their most daring dreams, their schemes, their driving purposes for good or evil.  They carry stories of exploration, trade, war, escapes, rescue, and, during the last 150 years, the flow of men, women, children, sheep, goats, and cows as they came to make first permanent homes in what had been a valley of Nomads.

Trails and wagon roads of the Valley are the foothills, mountain passes, and rivers. . . .  When they are walked, in a wondrous way they become Then and Now, sunshine and cloud, shadow flowing, and a tremendous cast of characters coming alive."

-Ruth Marie Colville, 'Mt. Lookout, Where You Can See for Two Days'
