Rocky Mountains Past explores the intertwined history of the Rocky Mountain region, examining its geological origins, indigenous cultures, and the impact of European settlement. The book emphasizes how understanding this multifaceted past informs present-day challenges in resource management, environmental conservation, and cultural preservation. One intriguing aspect is the discussion of the Laramide Orogeny, the mountain-building event that shaped the Rockies, affecting the distribution of resources and influencing settlement patterns.

The narrative progresses chronologically, beginning with the geological formation of the mountains and an exploration of the diverse indigenous groups who thrived there for millennia. Drawing on archaeology and oral histories, the book illuminates their adaptations to the environment and their interactions with it.

It then shifts to the arrival of settlers, analyzing their motivations, the resulting impacts on the land and native populations, and the shaping of modern society. This interwoven approach offers a nuanced perspective of the Rocky Mountains.
