Synopsis

In "The Indians of the Pike's Peak Region," Irving Howbert offers a meticulously researched exploration of the indigenous tribes who inhabited the iconic Rocky Mountain area, specifically focusing on the cultural and historical dimensions of their lives before and during European settlement. Howbert's prose is both clear and evocative, grounding his narrative in a rich tapestry of ethnographic detail and poignant anecdotes. The book serves not only as an historical account but also as a critical reflection on the complex interactions between Native Americans and settler populations, contributing to a broader understanding of the socio-political dynamics of 19th-century America. Irving Howbert was a prominent figure in Colorado's early history, his life interwoven with the narratives he documents. A businessman turned historian, Howbert possessed a deep personal interest in the Native American experience, shaped by his interactions and observations as a resident of the Pike's Peak region. His unique position enabled him to gather first-hand accounts and delve into archival resources, allowing him to present a comprehensive view of the indigenous peoples who faced tremendous upheaval during westward expansion. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Native American history, anthropology, or the American West. It not only preserves the voices of those often marginalized in historical discourse but also prompts readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of these cultures. Howbert's work is a valuable addition to the canon of American history that deserves a prominent place on the shelves of both scholars and enthusiasts.

    At a time of fierce political divisiveness, From Here to Security is a refreshingly balanced, non-ideological guide to solving what may be our nation's most pressing policy challenge: achieving retirement security for all. 
 
 
 
A pioneer of the 401(k) system, Robert L. Reynolds eschews radical calls for throwing out the 401(k) entirely and creating a new government-run savings system. Our best course, he shows, is to build on what we have: a flexible, dynamic private-public system of Social Security and more robust workplace savings. From Here to Security provides a clear, powerful new approach to solving America's retirement challenge—based on facts, data, and Reynolds's decades of experience. 
 
 
 
While fearmongers claim that the US retirement system is on the verge of collapse; Reynolds shows why our system is actually the envy of the world. But From Here to Security is no status quo book. 
 
 
 
Reynolds lays out an action agenda to dramatically improve our retirement systems—public and private—lift our savings rate, improve people's retirement prospects, spur faster growth—and reboot America's national morale.
