    The first gem in the Buried Treasures series—stories unearthed from the heart, where memory and meaning intertwine. 
What do you do when your memories are lost, hidden somewhere deep in the dusty corners of your mind—especially the ones that matter most? 
Mum & Me at the Hippy Campus is a poetic and heartfelt journey into the foggy halls of memory, where one woman sets out to reclaim the flickering fragments of her mother, lost too soon. Blending memoir with lyrical reflection, this audiobook is both a tribute and a treasure hunt. 
With a wink and a nod, the author refers to her brain as the “hippy campus”—a playful twist on the word hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for memory. Here, in this imaginary tie-dyed university of recollection, she searches for long-forgotten laughter, the scent of shared moments, and the comforting cadence of her mother’s voice. 
What unfolds is a moving meditation on love, loss, grief, and healing—told with wit, warmth, and deep emotional resonance. It’s a book for anyone who’s ever wanted to hold onto someone who slipped away too soon… and for those learning to remember again, one gentle step at a time.

    Early Icons and Landmarks As western migration came to the Colorado frontier, forts were established to protect the settlers. These forts were intertwined with the lives of the frontiersmen. Scout Thomas Tate Tobin oversaw the workers who built the adobe fortress known as Fort Garland. Here, Tobin delivered the heads of the murderous Espinosas gang to Colonel Sam Tappan. Fort Sedgwick, originally known as Camp Rankin, was attacked by the Cheyenne Dog soldiers, including George Bent. Fort Lyon, an expanded fortress of William Bent's third fort, became the staging point for Colonel John M. Chivington's march to Sand Creek where peaceful Cheyenne were murdered. Later, Christopher "Kit" Carson died in the fort's chapel. Legendary Jim Beckwourth was associated with both Fort Vasquez and Fort Pueblo. Author Linda Wommack revisits the glory and the mistakes of the frontiersmen who defined Colorado and the forts that dotted the wild landscape.

    John Adams has become one of the more popular presidents in history relatively recently, but it was not always so. For most of his life he was seen as a bit of an outsider, different from his fellow first presidents in his temperament, birth, life and politics. Adams and his son were the only presidents out of the first seven who were born north of the Mason Dixon line, and he was not an easy man to understand or work with. Not only did he have few friends, but he also often fell into long term quarrels with those he had. Still, Adams remained a celebrated figure in Boston for all the work he did in Massachusetts before and after the Revolution, but his national reputation has experienced quite a renaissance over the past decade, beginning with David Mccullough’s best selling biography in 2001, followed in 2008 by the popular HBO series based on it. Then, in 2010, Dearest Friend, a record of the correspondence between Adams and his wife Abigail solidified his position as one of the most darling Founding Fathers of the 21st Century. 
While the First Ladies often remain overshadowed by their husbands, some have carved unique niches in their time and left their own lasting legacy. Eleanor Roosevelt and Hillary Clinton may have been the most politically active First Ladies in American history, but Abigail Adams was the first to act as political advisor for her husband and the first to be dubbed “Mrs. President”. Indeed, Abigail was politically inclined to degree highly unusual among women of the 18th and 19th century, and she had originally impressed her future husband John because she was so well versed in poetry, philosophy and politics. Abigail was also very progressive, championing women’s rights and abolition long before they became widely held views even in traditionally liberal Massachusetts.
