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, bibliography, index. $27.50.)

Scamehorn states in his preface that "this book examines the origin, evolution, and some aspects of the social and economic impact of Colorado's coal, petroleum, natural gas, and oil-from-shale resources...." (p. ix). In truth, this book is a good deal more than that since Scamehorn also deals with such issues as atomic energy, manufactured gas, gilsonite, and coal bed methane—and he places Colorado's fossil fuel industries in the context of national events and economic patterns.
