A Tenderfoot in Colorado (Timberline Books) Paperback – November 30, 2008

I collect western Americana books and since we live in Colo, this will make a nice addition to the library.

This engaging historical book is rife with western history written by a firsthand "tenderfoot." Richard Baxter Townshend arrived in America from England with $300 dollars, an objective eye and a desire to experience his journey. He did not write "an account" or as a reporter. His first person narrative includes the ability to embrace local vernacular and integrate his third person perspective as a participating observer.You can expect an "experiential" journey yourself.
