“In the entire history of the American West there were no
more fascinating characters than the ‘Bloody Espinosas’ of Colorado
Territory. This fast-paced, amazingly objective, intriguing, and
highly recommended study of the Espinosas, as well as those who
hunted them, will keep you turning the pages.” —Jerry
Thompson, Regents Professor of History, Texas A&M International
University
"Well-written and well-documented . . . Price's biography of the
Espinosas is an important chapter in the violence and vigilantism
that plagued the West during the Civil War."
—Marshall Trimble, author of Wyatt Earp: Showdown in
Tombstone; True West Magazine
". . . contains horror and tragedy, but also moments of grace and
scene-circling post-mortems. . . You feel like you're reading
a combination of Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men and
Walkter Van Tilburg Clark's The Ox-Bow Incident. Except that Season
of Terror is history and essay, and keeps stepping back to examine
no only the evidence but also the historiography."
—Rob Neufeld, The Asheville Citizen Times
". . . this is the best book yet on the famous Espinosas of
Central Colorado."
—Forrest Whitman, Colorado Central Magazine
