This volume marks the beginning of a new series of Sundance books. Western history and railroad history have been our particular areas of interest, with Colorado narrow-gauge our emphasis. Through the years we have discovered something which really came as no surprise: many readers with a serious interest in western history and the history of Colorado's mountain railroads find the setting in which the rails were laid as fascinating to experience and read about as the railroads and iron horses which drew them there in the first place. The temperament which finds solace (and excitement) in contemplation of steam engines winding through the mountains, which is filled with joy in the act of reading about the age of steam in the Rockies, often finds the same pleasure in tales of high country adventure, in the viewing of photographs which depict the rugged mountains and lush valleys through which the rails were laid, and in stories of wilderness and the creatures who abide there. We are, for I must include myself in this group, romantics. We are deeply moved by our memories and knowledge of what once was, and we are deeply moved by the best of what still is. It is by this temperament we at Sundance have been motivated in the past, and it is with the same spirit we move into this new endeavor.
