Award Winning Poet Through vivid and exciting free verse, Robert Cooperman shares an intimate view into the thoughts and lives of the people who toiled and loved and died in the early mining camps of Colorado's rugged Rocky Mountains. Experience the old mountain West through the voices of the people who lived it. This book is really three books in one: In the Gold Fever Mountains, A Coffin and A Carved Stone, and The Badman and the Lady. Excerpt from The Badman and the Lady: "Why bother scribbling a journal when the only things to tell are the number of pelts I've taken, the drinks I needed to give back what I earned, the list of men I've glared down with my one good eye and a face the Devil's laid claim to."
