“Men of the Rockies are products of pioneers and trail blazers who, in search of religious freedom, dared erect cities and till the soil where the Red man had pitched his wikiup. Mountains and deserts develop sincerity in the hearts and souls of people who are real. Men who dwell in the Rockies absorb peace and truth in the shadows of the hills. Their hearts respond to the music of creation.” (Page 15) N. C. Hanks writes about some of the men he knew who made the mountains their home, and then spends some time on the specific lives of such men as: Ephriam K. Hanks, Nymphas C. Murdock, George Tyng, Cyrus the Sinner, John H. Hamilton, and Shorty. 118 pages
