Songs of the Rockies [by Charles Edwin Hewes] (1922)
Charles Edwin Hewes (1870-1947), who is remembered not only for his poetry but as the builder/operator of the historic Hewes-Kirkwood Inn, site of today's Rocky Ridge Music Center. When not managing the Inn, Hewes devoted his time to writing novels and poetry, including "The America," a 690-page epic poem that he worked on for 17 years.
