Strange But True, Colorado

If you're looking for a "names and dates" academic history, don't buy this book. But if you'd like to be treated to some very weird events from the past, then you should find this book chock full of entertainment value. I went looking for the book when the book editor guy from the Boulder Daily Camera wrote something about it being "...the perfect bathroom book." It's true-- The stories, over 100 of 'em, are short and come with surprise endings. And there were nearly as many companion pen & ink drawings, which for me gave the book a magical feel.
