Review:

“As one of its earliest reviewers predicted, David Lavender’s The Rockies has indeed become the ‘standard’ work on the region.”—Denver Westerners Roundup (Denver Westerners Roundup)

“One of the best books ever published on the Rockies. . . . Immensely entertaining and most instructive. Lavender’s writing shows a love for this subject, and he has written more than twenty books about the West. This is one of his best.”—Colorado Prospector (Colorado Prospector)

"An informed and informative history of the majestic Rocky Mountains. . . . An engaging presentation as much about the impact of humanity as it is about the mountain range itself, The Rockies is a welcome addition to American History Studies reading lists and academic library collections."—The Midwest Book Review (The Midwest Book Review)
