Description

The burro has been a very special part of the land that is now called Colorado, dating all the way back to Spanish exploration of the New World. Despite abuse, ridicule, and torture, this little animal still embodies dignity, trust, and an unconditional affection that is legendary. There is a lot that we can learn from the burro, but we need to know its story before we can even begin to understand the endearing spiritual essence that dwells in this humble, little creature.

To tell the story of the Colorado burro properly, On the Backs of Burros is also an account of early Spanish settlers. It tells the stories of legendary Colorado prospectors, the tales of the operators of early-day pack trains, and details the abuse and forgiving nature of this small beast of burden. This is not a book on how to raise or train a burros, although it provides insight into better understand them. Its purpose is to celebrate an important and very unique part of Colora;do history and lore that is often overlooked. The burro is begging to get the attention and recognition it deserves. It is our hope that with the help of this book these forgotten symbols of the Old West will continue to bring civilization--a refinement of culture, taste, and manners--to Colorado, so that a crucial part of our way of life is not lost to modern times.

A portion of the proceeds of this book will be given to Colorado's Long Hopes, a donkey rescue mission.
