Well-known author Wilson Rockwell wrote New Frontier in 1938, early in his writing career, as a tribute to his mother. He would wait almost twenty more years before writing another popular history of the Western Slope of Colorado. During this time he became a highly respected State Senator and historian. Most of his latter work does not duplicate this earlier work, basically lost to time until now. New Frontier contains information on the early days of west central Colorado and focuses on the history and the personalities of the Gunnison, Uncompahgre, and North Fork Valleys. Anyone who has enjoyed Wilson Rockwell's more recent books will find New Frontier to be fascinating and enjoyable. Rockwell also cites many sources that are not commonly cited today. It is our pleasure to publish this work so that it may take its place among his other classic works.

The name Cyrus W. Doc Shores may not be found on the list of larger-than-life lawmen whose legends and lore give them top billing in the taming of America s wild and wooly West; yet, in the late 1800s, Doc Shores became known to law officers and the lawless alike eliciting both fear and respect for a man reputed to be one of the best lawmen of that era. In Doc Shores An Authorized Reprint of Memoirs of a Lawman, author Wilson Rockwell reconstructs Shores life and experiences from the lawman s memoirs. He then combines those personal writings with additional research and captures that infamous time when the West was young. This book provides firsthand accounts of outlaw hunting; observations about famous men who Shores knew both inside and outside the law; and descriptive tales about coming west on a steamer up the Missouri River to Fort Benton, cattle drives from Texas to Oklahoma, and being a bullwhacker and freighting all over the nation s new frontier. On August 7, 1999, Wilson Rockwell autographed an original copy of Memoirs of a Lawman as follows: To my friend David Smith with my appreciation for bringing my books back to life for a new generation of readers. With a thank you to and authorization from Wilson Rockwell s son, Daniel, and in memory of Wilson Rockwell, who died in 2007, Western Reflections and its publisher P. David Smith are proud to reprint this timeless work.
