Book Review

High Altitude Energy: A History of Fossil Fuels in Colorado. By Lee Scamehorn. Boulder: University Press of Colorado, 2002. xvi + 244 pp. Illustrations, maps, bibliography, index. Cloth $27.50.

High Altitude Energy serves as a fitting culmination to Lee Scamehorn's career as the pre-eminent historian of Colorado's fossil fuel industries. Like his earlier works, this volume presents thorough research in matter-of-fact prose. And like its predecessors, it favors descriptive narrative rather than probing analysis. High Altitude Energy is not a book that asks particularly ambitious questions, but Scamehorn should be applauded for bringing together more information on the coal, natural gas, and petroleum industries in Colorado than any previous scholar.
