A unique collection of oral histories that describe life in Boulder County, Colorado, as it was being settled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Most people have some idea of what pioneer life was like for those settling the American West from history books, novels and movies. Yet few have learned about Western settlement from the pioneers themselves, in their own words. Taking this new tack is In Other Words, a collection of oral histories about life in the old West from the Pioneer era to Prohibition, as told by those who experienced it. Maria Rogers culled taped interviews of more than 180 men and women who lived in Colorado in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to present this kaleidoscope of impressions and memories that tell a uniquely American story.

About the Author:

Maria M. Rogers is coordinator of the Oral History Project at the Boulder Public Library. Over a period of ten years she listened to more than 600 oral history tapes to create In other Words. Rogers is the mother of four children and lives with her husband in Boulder, Colorado.
