Colorado’s Cattle Queen:

kColorado’s Cattle Queen

Ann Bassett by Linda Wommack

Anna Marie Bassett was the first white child born in the notorious outlaw region of Colorado known as Brown's Park. She knew outlaws such as Butch Cassidy, The Sundance Kid, and became lifelong friends with Elza Lay. When Tom Horn, owner of the Two Bar Cattle enterprise, murdered her fiancée, Ann Bassett launched a vendetta against the Two Bar ranch.

“Throwing caution to the winds, I pushed cattle off the range. I had to work alone. My neighbors did not support me in this, my challenge to Haley, and defiance of law and order. No other stockmen were responsible for what I did. I turned the heat against myself by an open declaration of war.”

This is the account of Colorado’s Cattle Queen, Ann Bassett, told largely in her own own words and supported by friends and enemies alike.

Managed Extinction: the decline and loss of wild salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest

by Rick Williams and Jim Lichatowich

Softcover, 6x9

ISBN# 978-087004-6490

Managed Extinction describes the decline of wild salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest over the last 150 years. Many populations are presently on the verge of extinction, particularly in Idaho’s Snake River Basin. Widespread habitat alteration and mainstem dams on the Columbia and Snake rivers contributed to the decline of salmon and steelhead, but continued reliance on hatchery production to rebuild declining salmon runs rather than conservation measures has resulted in management leading to extinction. Restoration of imperiled upper basin salmon and steelhead populations requires removal of the four Lower Snake River dams, restoration of riverine ecological processes, and development of a new salmon management paradigm that focuses on ecological resilience and stewardship.
