I grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, then followed my mother’s advice to go somewhere “different” for college. In 1965, I moved to Boulder, Colorado.

Now, more than four decades later, my roots are still in the East, but my heart – and my passion for researching and writing about history – is in the West. Colorado has remained my home.

Here you will learn more about my books, articles, current projects – and about me.

Thanks for visiting my website.
