About Howard E. Greager
The Norwood Chamber of Commerce lists Greager Books at 1860 Pearl Street in Norwood under the heading Author Howard Greager, and names six books there: In The Company Of Cowboys, The Hell That Was Paradox, The Mind Of A Fox, We Shall Fall As The Leaves, Posey's Spurs, and Snake From Old Campfires.
The Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Society bookstore list shows Posey's Spurs as a Western Reflections book by Howard E. Greager. We could not confirm a birth year, a death date or a full biography from a source we could read, so we do not give them.
What the books share
Posey's Spurs sets the tone for what we can say about his work: true stories of Western Colorado, with the outlaw days of the Old West at the center. Its description says many of the stories came from the families of the men involved. The other books on the Norwood list sound like regional history and cowboy life, but we have not read them, so we do not describe them.
