My mother has started writing a series of articles on the development and history of the Arkansas River. It is found in a local magazine called "River's Edge" and can be found around town in local restaurants.
Try and find an issue and read a good the stories. The first installment comes out today.
Interestingly enough, Michael, I've been in contact with their editor about a bicycling column. The first one will run next month.
