Dive into one of our regional picks of the month 📚
by Anne F. Hyde
In a ground-breaking work, Pulitzer Price finalist Anne F. Hyde tells the stories of these mixed-blood marriages and their importance to American expansion and commerce. She concentrates on five families, one of them the Bent family that operated Bent’s Fort in southeastern Colorado. At first, the children of mixed marriages fared well in western commerce. But as more and more whites trekked west, “mixing blood, long regarded as a solution, now seemed a dangerous problem,” the author says.
In “Rise,” Vonn tells how she did it, through dedication and hard work. Those trophies came at a cost. Vonn sacrificed most of her teen years to training, never dating or making close friends. The family sold their home and moved to Vail. Vonn was home-schooled so that she could participate in ski races worldwide. She suffered from serious depression. And then there were all those physical injuries that forced her to retire in 2019.
