The Spanish word cimarron, meaning "wild" or "untamed," refers to a region in the southern Rocky Mountains where control of timber, gold, coal, and grazing lands long bred violent struggle. This book presents a new history of the collision that occurred over the region's resources between 1870 and 1900.
