2014 Colorado Book Award Finalist Ed Quillen entertained Denver Post readers with his weekly columns for 26 years. Deeper into the Heart of the Rockies compiles the best from the height of his career on topics ranging from Colorado to small town life to national politics. "He was a straight-shooter, a fact-checker, a proud wordsmith, a brilliant thinker, a touch of down-home Colorado the likes of which are rare." - The Denver Post Editorial Board "He was a keen chronicler - a mountain-town crier, an unofficial state historian, and a self-described sloth. The first word that comes to mind to describe Ed is 'colorful, ' and I mean that as an absolute compliment." - Curtis Hubbard, Former State Editor of The Denver Post "Ed Quillen was a character in the full sense of the word-and a wordsmith of the first order . . . Our world has lost a one-of-a-kind voice." - David Perkins, The Bloomsbury Review

The Banff–Bow Valley in western Alberta is the heart of spiritual and economic life for the Nakoda peoples. While they were displaced from the region by the reserve system and the creation of Canada's first national park, in the twentieth century the Nakoda reasserted their presence in the valley through involvement in regional tourism economies and the Banff Indian Days sporting festivals. Drawing on extensive oral testimony from the Nakoda, supplemented by detailed analysis of archival and visual records, Spirits of the Rockies is a sophisticated account of the situation that these Indigenous communities encountered when they were denied access to the Banff National Park. Courtney W. Mason examines the power relations and racial discourses that dominated the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and shows how the Nakoda strategically used the Banff Indian Days festivals to gain access to sacred lands and respond to colonial policies designed to repress their cultures.
