Author and photographer Jeff Eberle spent much of the last decade traveling the backroads and 4 x 4 trails of Colorado in an effort to capture a few final images of the state's rapidly vanishing past.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake one last look at important pieces of the puzzle that make up Colorado's history, including the forlorn and dormant steel mills of Pueblo, the coal towns of Las Animas and Huerfano counties, the forgotten Dust Bowl farming communities reaching to the Kansas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico borders, and the unique Hispanic flavor of the legendary San Luis Valley.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author hopes to help raise awareness and public interest in the preservation and protection of Colorado's historic sites and structures. What one might see as merely an old, rusty eyesore, another sees as an aged beauty who stood silent witness to the hard work and struggle that gave birth to the Colorado we know and love today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 9.1 x 6.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 28, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51769050104096,"sku":"9781634992411","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/bf302b85b58d720107456be19c23bba2.webp?v=1780341559","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/abandoned-southern-colorado-and-the-san-luis-valley-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
