A new book uncovers their stories","html":"","width":"100%","height":180,"duration":525,"description":"Colorado has an abundance of mountains named after famous men – think Long’s Peak, Mount Wilson, or Pikes Peak. \n\nSince childhood, Sarah Hahn Campbell has been fascinated by the people behind place names. But she discovered little to no information on peaks, lakes or trails named after women.  \n\nSo, in 2017, the Denver-based author and high school teacher set out to research the mysterious women behind the names of some of Colorado’s landmarks. \n\nThat culminated in Sarah's new book, Her Place on the Map: 18 Women and the Colorado Wonders Named for Them. It’s part trail guide and part history lesson, exploring 18 Colorado trails, mountains and lakes, while highlighting the stories of the women for whom these places were named. \n\nShe spoke with Erin O’Toole about the book, and how challenging it was to learn about the real women behind the names. \n\nSarah will discuss the book and share some of her favorite local hikes at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at Wolverine Farm in Fort Collins. \n* * * * *\nSign up for the In The NoCo newsletter: Visit KUNC.org\nQuestions?
