Huerfano: A Memoir of Life in the Counterculture

With a strong, distinctive voice, Roberta Price recalls the years she spent in the Huerfano ("Orphan") Valley when it was a petrie dish of countercultural experiments. Documenting her story with photos as well as words, and placing it in the larger context of the times, she describes her participation in the antiwar movement, the advent of the women's movement, and her encounters with such icons as Ken Kesey, Gary Snyder, Abbie Hoffman, Stewart Brand, Allen Ginsburg, and Baba Ram Dass.
