Crystal River Saga: Lore of the Colorado Rockies
by Theresa V. Francis
About the author
Theresa V. Francis is known for Crystal River Saga: Lore of the Colorado Rockies, a history-centered work about the Crystal River Valley and the town of Marble, Colorado. Available catalog and ebook records identify the book as a regional history, and some editions also credit William Lamartine Francis as a contributor or coauthor.
Descriptions of the book present her as someone closely familiar with Marble’s past, writing about the valley’s mining, marble industry, and community life. That gives her work the feel of a writer preserving local memory as much as recording history.
Little reliable biographical information about her appears to be widely available online beyond her connection to Crystal River Saga. Because of that, the strongest confirmed picture is of an author devoted to documenting the people and places of the Colorado Rockies.
