Hi Everyone,

I have a patron request for a book that I'm hoping someone out there will recognize!

She thinks the title is something like OLD MEN OF THE DESERT. It is set in Colorado around the turn of the century, and it deals with archaeology (Judd, Kidder, etc.). She's uncertain about the publication date -- it may have been published around 1970.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

A personal history by Judd of his life in western archaeology--right
publishing period and "MEN" in title, so maybe this? (Don't know if
it's focused on Colorado or not, however.)

This does sound very promising! Thank you! I'll e-mail the patron and see if this might be it. But if anyone else has any suggestions, I'll still take them.

THANKS again !!!
