Very engaging work of regional history - well researched and well written.
First-rate account of Colorado history. A fascinating read that held my interest throughout.

Quite interesting and informative, complete with archival photographs that add depth to the text.
Explores a subject of local interest that many students would gladly read for their local history/famous Coloradoans projects!

From a nine-year-old reader in third grade:
Molly Brown's life was bigger than the Titanic and I liked learning about her life. It's a good book.
— Ande Peersen
The author writes with genuine feeling for her subjects. [Her books] should be on the shelf of every school library in the state.
— Suzanne Lyon, book reviewer, Broomfield Enterprise
This is a book that should be present in all collections on Colorado history.
— Colorado Libraries magazine
Thank you for your sterling work as an interpreter of our history.
— Donald McGilchrist, The Navigators, Glen Eyrie
Lohse has written a succinct and enjoyable history of what is perhaps the greatest rags-to-riches-to-rags story in the American West - how Baby Doe Tabor became the Matchless Silver Queen.
— Robert E. Hartzell, Executive Director, National Mining Hall of Fame and Museum
