Travel Writing

This is a vivid time capsule of American tourism's infancy, a Victorian-era love letter to the Rockies written when the mountains were still wild and the railroad was the ultimate marvel. The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad Passenger Department crafted this promotional volume to entice adventurous travelers with the promise of one thousand miles of unparalleled scenery: the chasm of Royal Gorge, the cathedral walls of Black Canyon, the silver-boom towns of Silverton and Ouray. The prose breathes the confidence of an age convinced that nature existed to be civilized by rail, yet it also captures something we're now racing to recover - the raw, untrammeled grandeur of landscapes that have since been tamed, logged, and loved to death. Whether you read it as historical document, travel fantasy, or meditation on what we've lost, this book delivers the dream of the open window, the cinder in your eye, and the absolute certainty that the next curve in the track will reveal something never seen before.

“Many people never see God part the Jordan River in their lives because their feet are firmly planted on dry ground. We’re waiting for God to make a move while God is waiting for us to make a move. We say to God, “Why don’t you part this river?” And God says to us, “Why don’t you get your feet wet?” But if you make a move, you’ll see God move. And He can move heaven and earth.””
