Introduction

The development of the West was an exciting and adventurous time in history. In Rocky Mountain Tales, author Arlene Pervin brings that history to life in this collection of eclectic stories.

Content of the Stories

These stories tell of adventurers and entrepreneurs, hard-drinking men and gamblers, of fishing tales, cougars, and high-diving elk. Through stories like Bacon and Civilization, Camel Not, and Of Men and Ink, the trials and tribulations of life at that time are revealed through the iconoclastic voices of the developing West.

Themes and Style

Rocky Mountain Tales reveals what life was like in the West through humour, political satire, and commentary in the writing of legendary newspapermen who lived and wrote of their time and place and dared to cross the line, in words and in their vision for the West.
