Crofutt's Grip-Sack Guide of Colorado (2006)
Archivist's Note: My research on the previous entry led me to tantalizing information that it was available on a compact disc. No library had yet cataloged it – it wasn’t on Amazon – even AbeBooks didn’t list it. I contacted the reviewer, Ed Quillen, and googled the compiler, but still no address. Finally, in desperation, I called a randomly chosen Kiteley from the Longmont phone book – and tracked down the compiler, W. Michel Kiteley. (4717 West 30th Avenue, Denver, Colorado 80212 - $30)! The image resolution is fabulous. Quillen’s review in Colorado Central Magazine says “By putting this entertaining and informative old book on CD, Michel Kiteley has done a wonderful thing for all Colorado history buffs – making sure that Crofutt stays available.” It’s worth it – Auraria’s copies are already being used.
