Customer Reviews

A perfect historical product

Bayou Salado is a good research source that should be a must for those souls who write, teach, or have a serious interest in the early West. McConnell did an outstanding job on the history from that section of the Rocky Mountains. After reading Bayou Salado I toured there and it was everything the writer said it was. The museum/old village in Fairplay was more than worth the trip (and the fly fishing along the South Fork of the South Platte was great). Many kudoos to Virginia McConnell Simmons.
