Description

A comprehensive 350-page chronicle of the Sterling, Colorado area, its industry, importance as a rail junction, and northeast Colorado's commercial center. Colorado prairie rail historian James R. "Jim" Jones ("DENVER & NEW ORLEANS: In The Shadow of the Rockies" and producer of forty documentary DVDs) teamed with Sterling native Russ Collman and Sundance Publications (Denver) owner Del McCoy for this unique chronicle beginning with the construction of the Union Pacific and CB&Q lines through the area in 1881, peaks and valleys, through the year 2000. UP's Julesburg Subdivision, CB&Q Highline, CB&Q Cheyenne Line, and a latter built route connecting Alliance, NE with Fort Morgan, CO are featured. A popular component of Jones' books and documentary DVDs (also available on eBay) are visits to each town, industry and downtown districts on the lines. You'll see vintage postmarks, maps, depots, and "life along the line" images. An all-star cast of contributors include Robert W. Andrews, Jim Ehernberger, Erwin Engert, Kenton Forrest, Ed Haley, A. J. Hundhausen, Jim Hurt, Allan Lewis, Jim Ozment, Otto C. Perry, F. Hol Wagner, and A.J. "Jack" Wolff.

This lavishly illustrated and meticulously researched book was created and published by leading Colorado authors and collectors.
