Meredith, traces the history of theCrystal River Valley south of Carbondaleand the surrounding area (as far south asGunnison and <strong>Crested</strong> <strong>Butte</strong>) from 1879to 1930, through the eyes of one man andhis family.Based on a local legend that as theUte Indians were being driven from thearea to reservations in the southwesternpart of Colorado, a Ute Holy Manplaced a curse on the valley, the novelexplores the trials and tribulations, themining boom and bust, and the variousattempts of men to use the valley fortheir own ends, often with failure asthe result.The novel also explores the early historyof Aspen and Glenwood Springs and theremote towns of the Crystal Valley includingSchofield, Crystal City and Marble.The idyllic town of Redstone, along withits founder and benefactor, J. C. Osgood, is asignificant part of the novel.This Cursed Valley has been a popular readsince its publication in 2002. It was originallyissued by a Denver publishing company.Meredith recently re-acquired the rights tothe novel and formed a new publishing company,Raspberry Creek Books, Ltd. to publishthis book and several others by a number ofauthors who are primarily Colorado writers.This Cursed Valley is the first book to be issuedby his company, which will soon issue otherbooks, mainly by area writers and other Coloradoauthors.The name of the publishing companycomes from Raspberry Creek near Marble,which borders property Meredith and hiswife, Alley, have owned for a number ofyears.“The novel has remained popular over theyears,” Meredith said, “and I felt it was timefor an update and a new version.”The 10th anniversary edition includessome material that was not published in theoriginal version.It also features an introduction by AnneHillerman of Santa Fe, the daughter of famednovelist Tony Hillerman.The book will soon be available in e-bookform for the Kindle.A few years ago Meredith retired fromhis position as assistant to the president anddirector of public relations for Western StateColorado University in Gunnison and has recentlybeen executive director of the GunnisonCounty Library District.Meredith’s entire family is involved inthe new firm. His daughter, Suzanne, and herhusband, Denny, former Crystal Valley residents,now live in Tulsa, Okla. Son Greg Meredithand his family—wife, Tina, and childrenJack and Lauren—live south of Carbondale.Meredith said the book was completelyre-designed which allowed him to decreasethe page count from 576 to a little more than400, even while adding some previously unpublishedmaterial.The novel debuted in 2002 to critical acclaimfrom the Denver Post, which said it was“action-packed enough to be read in hourslong,chapter-absorbing chunks. The curseand its effects... make up a page-turner, nightlight-burnerof a Western saga. When the lastpage is turned, a reader is left wondering ifthe curse still brings trouble and calamity tothose who would use the Crystal River Valleyfor self-serving ends.”Author Jon Chandler of Denver said,“This novel of the West embraces the pioneerexperience with wit, intelligence, and extraordinaryhistorical detail...this is a broad, richnovel; a novel to be savored.”A second novel by Meredith dealing withland use issues has been completed and he isworking on a biography of a long-time moviestuntman who has appeared in hundreds offilms and television productions and who, fora number of films, was John Wayne’s double.He also doubled, and worked with, such starsas Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, Tom Selleck,Sam Elliot, Fess Parker, Gregory Peck andmany others.This Cursed Valley is available at theTownie Book Store in <strong>Crested</strong> <strong>Butte</strong>, at theBook Worm in Gunnison and at other areabookstores.
