Deadbeat Dams Why We Should Abolish the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and Tear Down Glen Canyon Dam Daniel P. Beard Former Commissioner of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Deadbeat Dams informs and educates people about how their tax dollars are being used and misused, why we are ignoring some immediate problems, and what can be done to correct this state of affairs. The faults of the present system of federally assisted water management efforts are amply detailed. And a series of specific changes are suggested to re-direct water policy decision-making and implementation. These reforms show how we can extract the federal government from worthless activities that cost millions of taxpayer dollars and provide little or no benefit—an agenda for reform that can be used as ammunition by a new generation of water reformers.

Descendants of Wounded Knee The Ultimate Sacrifice on the Pine Ridge Reservation Alan Hafer with Sandy Sauser In Collaboration with Members of the Oglala Tribe of Pine Ridge In the summer of 1999, Wally Black Elk set off on the two-mile walk from the Pine Ridge Reservation to the tiny border town of Whiteclay, Nebraska. Three days later his horribly mutilated body was discovered next to that of his drinking companion, Ronnie Hard Heart. The murders of the two men are still unsolved and continue to cause brutal clashes between border town cops and the Oglala Lakota. Descendants of Wounded Knee uses the murders as a backdrop to the tribe’s historical battle against colonization and a reservation system predicated on assimilation. Life on the Pine Ridge, one of the most violent places in America, is a daily struggle with poverty, disease, alcoholism, and too often brutality. Told with candor, Descendants of Wounded Knee is an unvarnished account of life on the Pine Ridge. Paper | 6 x 9 | 256 pages | b&w photos | $18.95 | 978-1-55566-461-9

The Tunnels Under Our Feet Colorado’s Forgotten Hollow Sidewalks Tracy Beach Underground hollow sidewalks and vaults had many uses when they were first installed in the late 1800s. Vaults allowed businesses to expand and utilize the unused spaces beneath sidewalks and alleys for storage and coal delivery. Hollow sidewalks allowed for delivery of merchandise, and to allow people to travel from one place to another without being seen (think prostitutes and speakeasy’s during Prohibition). The author covers fourteen cities in Colorado. Paper | 8.5 x 11 | 192 pages 184 b&w photos | $21.95 978-1-55566-458-9

A chance encounter with a man at one of his clinics ultimately leads Mark to become a student of the Japanese martial art aikido, “The Way of Harmony.” That decision takes Mark back to his roots with the “old man” who taught him how to work with horses.

Mark Rashid takes a nostalgic look back at the days before he became a world-renowned horse trainer, when he worked on cattle ranches and guest ranches. Mark tells a good story, and will leave you laughing as he shares tales about run-ins with cacti, difficult ranch guests, and the everyday follies of life on a ranch.

Running Meter Press The Asphalt Warrior series, featuring Denver Cab Driver “Murph”

The Asphalt Warrior

Ticket to Hollywood

Heart of Darkness Club

Home for the Holidays

Doctor Lovebeads

Gary Reilly

In this third book of novelist Gary Reilly’s Asphalt Warrior series, Murph once again fails spectacularly at staying out of the lives of those he transports the second he picks up a “mover” named Trowbridge. “Movers” in Murph’s world are not to be confused with “movers and shakers.” Trowbridge pays his fare with a crisp five-dollar bill. Later, Murph finds an enigmatic hand-written note on the bill.

Murph abandons his cab and the mean streets of Denver for his hometown, his “dear ol’ Maw,” and an Irish Catholic clan the size of County Cork. It’s Christmas in Wichita. The fourth book in the Asphalt Warrior series has Murph reluctantly re-establishing relationships with his brother and sisters while trying to save an old friend from making a soul-killing mistake: seeking a socially acceptable job.

Paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 192 pages $14.95 | 978-0-9847860-6-0

Murph once again violates his vow never to get involved in the lives of his passengers. This time he is out to rescue two young neo-hippie girls he believes have come under the spell of a cult leader in a commune outside Boulder. The fifth book in the Asphalt Warrior series has Murph going undercover to accomplish his mission. He tries to pass himself off as an old love child in his confrontation with Brother Chakra. As the good Brother might say, “It’s a mind-blowing trip.”

Introducing Denverite Brendan Murphy… or “Murph” as he’s known to the rest of the world. He lives alone in his crow’s nest apartment, fries a hamburger for every meal, does his dish, then channel surfs for reruns of “Gilligan’s Island.” He is a radical minimalist. He strives to earn no more money as a driver for Rocky Mountain Taxi Company than his needs require. Paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 176 pages $14.95 | 978-0-9847860-0-8

This is the second book of The Asphalt Warrior series. Late one evening, Murph picks up a fare, an inebriated young woman dressed as a flapper. She is attending the Mile-Hi Film Festival, and before you know it, Murph is trying to return her left-behind purse, which is stuffed with cash. Suprisingly, the girl turns up missing as well. Paper | 5.5 x 8.5 | 216 pages $14.95 | 978-0-9847860-1-5

The sixth book in the Asphalt Warrior series, Dark Night of the Soul, is being released in November.

Pepperland

The Enlisted Men’s Club

Barry Wightman

Gary Reilly

This book is a ‘70s rock and roll race through the heartland of America— a love letter to the power of new-fangled computers and the importance of a guitar pick. Pepperland is about missing information, missing people, missing guitars, paranoia, brothers, revolution, Agents of the Federal Government, IBM, Hugh Hefner, a Dark Stranger, love, death and the search for it amidst the wreckage of recession-wracked, entropically rundown mid-seventies America.

The Enlisted Men’s Club is the first of a trilogy of stories about Vietnam by the late Gary Reilly, based on his experiences in Vietnam. Private Palmer is stationed at San Francisco’s army base at The Presidio, awaiting orders. He’s trying to find his place in the ranks. He’s trying to avoid work. While he’s been trained as a Military Policeman, he has no idea what’s next. Private Palmer focuses his attention on killing time, finding cold beer and thinking up ways to survive each day. The trick, he decides, is not to care about anything during his time in the Army. To his surprise, that’s the most difficult challenge of all.
