Well, it's only taken me a year of not very much time spent on this, but, as I noted in my recent thread about visting Colorado, I ahve finally worked out a format that I think will work for this. I will be introducing each section of dad's exact words with a few paragraphs of my own, then lead right into his, with his paragraphs indented more.

Thanks to an observation by Deckman about touchstones, my working title is, "Touchstones of Our Past: One Family's Early Days in Garfield County, Colorado."

Wish me luck!?
