The Owl in Monument Canyon

This book is a wonderful collection of true stories from the four corner area near Durango, Colorado. The author is the son of a highly experienced and respected Indian trader who personally knew many of the Indian families in the area. He also knew many famous people such as John Ford who became interested in the Monument Canyon area and filmed many western movies there. I can highly recommend this book as not only historically accurate but extremely entertaining. The son of the author is still in the Indian trading business. I have met him and he is carrying on a wonderful tradition.
