author
A regional storyteller with a strong sense of place, this writer is best known for bringing the history, folklore, and landscape of Colorado’s Rockies to life in Crystal River Saga. The surviving record is slim, which gives the work an unusual, local-history charm.

by Theresa V. Francis
Project Gutenberg lists Theresa V. Francis as the author of Crystal River Saga: Lore of the Colorado Rockies, a work associated with Marble via Carbondale, Colorado. The available online record also notes that the book was created in association with Will L. Francis.
Beyond that book listing and the text of the work itself, reliable biographical details about her are scarce in the sources I could confirm. Rather than overstate the case, it is safest to describe her as an author connected with Colorado regional writing and storytelling, especially material centered on the Crystal River area and the lore of the Rockies.
