The 2010 Colorado Authors’ League awards were judged by the Colorado Association of Libraries. Here are their comments regarding the winner in General Nonfiction:

“Heroes, Villains, Dames & Disasters: 150 Years of Front-Page Stories from the Rocky Mountain News” is an immensely enjoyable review of our history as a state and a nation. It is well written and rich with details that will fascinate history buffs and inspire a new love of Colorado in each reader who delves into its pages.
