Her Place on the Map

Join writer, researcher and hiker Sarah Hahn Campbell as she visits 18 Colorado mountains, lakes, and trails in her quest to better understand them and the women for which they were named. Each chapter includes a trail description and a historical investigation. Learn why neither Lady Moon nor Lady Washington were ladylike, discover the stories of intrepid pioneers like Agnes and Hessie, and honor historical fixtures like Clara Brown and Mestaa’hehe. This book invites you to hear new stories and to hike new trails.

Copies of Sarah's book can be purchased at the event, Wolverine Farm, Old Firehouse, and Makerfolk.
