Book continues on from first book. Focus is on Italian immigrants in Southeastern Colorado and the life of the new immigrants near Ludlow and Trinidad, Colorado. Author raises questions about unanswered questions that still permeate around the Ludlow Massacre. The life of the immigrants is underscored as we explore how the immigrants went for being citizens of Italy to citizens of the United State. The life of these immigrants centered around the mines in rural Colorado. Although the immigrant communities were formed from immigrants from a round the world, as well as rural Southerners, black and white, who did not share one another's languages and dialects the common living and dying together bridged any language gaps. There was joy and there was tragedy but in the end, the immigrants emerged as American.

Stagecoach West is a comprehensive history of stagecoaching west of the Missouri. Starting with the evolution of overland passenger transportation, Moody moves on to paint a lively and informative picture of western stagecoaching, from its early short runs through its rise with the gold rush, its zenith of 1858β68, and beyond. Its story is one of grand rivalries, political chicanery, and gaudy publicity stunts, traders, fortune hunters, outlaws, courageous drivers, and indefatigable detectives. We meet colorful characters such as Charlie Parkhurst, a stagecoach driver who took an amazing secret to his death: βheβ was actually a woman. Using contemporary accounts, illustrations, maps, and photographs to flesh out his narrative, Moody creates one of the most important accounts of transportation history to date.
