New Mexico, a place defined by a history of grand conflicts, conquistadores, Pueblo warriors, and nuclear scientists, will celebrate its state centennial in 2012. What better time for a collection of forgotten tales that recounts the adventures and exploits of priests, soldiers, witches, and politicians, who carved out a living in the harsh frontier. Ellen will introduce the reader to a cross-dressing Buffalo Soldier, a French trailblazer who opened a road from Santa Fe to Texas, an American spy who became a Mexican general, a Mexican raised by the Navajo who helped round up the Din for removal, and a governor whose head was removed and used as a football. Spanning from the 17th century to World War II, these stories are drawn from Native oral histories as well as the state's written records, and provide a sampling of New Mexico's colorful past.

Some of these stories have been heard partially many times before, although rarely has the whole story been told. Some of the stories have never been told, while researchers have found more and more new information over the years. These are the stories of the hidden heroes and heroines of Utah. Conflicted and kept uncover, many of these people never did figure out where the light and shadows were in their own lives. So I present them through many viewpoints and in their known and unknown facets, shedding light where darkness kept them silent for so long.--Cover page [4].

Truth, after all, still remains stranger and more engaging than most legends. And Missouri, of course, leads every other place in truth. Hop aboard Long's dragon boat or take advantage of 1846 wind wagon technology to plunge into the forgotten tales of this fascinating place. Hobnob cautiously with Stagger Lee, Mike Fink and Calamity Jane and view the chamber pot war from a safe distance. Trade witticisms with Alphonse Wetmore and Mark Twain, the frontier folk who keep us civilized today. If you keep company with storyteller Mary Collins Barile, you'll even catch a glimpse of the Mississippi River running backward from an earthquake that was all Missouri's fault.

When Dawn House purchased a teetering cabin in southern Utah, she didn't have it torn down for scrap but began to examine the layers of its wallpaper, encrusted with paste and the yellow of time. She found an extraordinary story within: of pioneer misfortune, lost loves, struggles against nature, ordinary homesteading, and the formation of modern Utah. House weaves together a story of discovery of that previously unknown history to produce a tale that literally speaks out of the old weather-weary boards she came to prize.

Wild characters, diverse cultures, spooky myths and slippery sales schemes color Colorado's past. In a place where shameless showdowns and dusty shootouts over money, drink and women were once standard procedure, storytelling around campfires became an integral part of a rich heritage. From the jackalope and vampires to Indian curses and snake oil salesmen, the Centennial State has it all. Weirder still are the strange but true stories like that of the first body buried in La Junta's Fairview Cemetery, a man who landed there for refusing alcohol to a kid, and that of the hotel in Telluride that once offered a promotion that included funeral costs with your stay. While history may have neglected these silly, seedy and salacious stories, author Stephanie Waters has rediscovered Colorado's best forgotten tales.

These stories grew from our rambles through Carson Valley and the surrounding area. And every ramble produced so many questions! What was that fascinating old building all about? Who used to live in that house? One by one, we dug out the stories and shared what we'd found in our history newsletter and blog. Almost before we knew it, those stories morphed into a book. This book, to be precise. Because people kept telling us how much they loved these stories. And all good stories need a place where they can be saved, cherished, and easily found again. We hope these tales help you enjoy the remaining traces of the early pioneers and "early days" here in beautiful Northern Nevada.
