German Baron F.W. von Egloffstein easily ranks among the most colorful of the many interesting people to have traveled in the American West during the nineteenth century.

The true story he reveals rivals the very best of Western Fiction. --Ben Huseman, author of Wild River, Timeless Canyons: Balduin Mollhausen's Watercolors of the Colorado
