This tale is set in the troubled town of Coffin Rock, Colorado. Coffin Rock is named for the large, morbidly shaped bluff looming over the town. A once thriving boom town built around The Crooked Earth Mine. Now, though, with the copper claims all but played out and people have fled the area to try and make a living elsewhere, it is just a reminder that this town once had hope.

Rising up from the plains of Kansas and crossing westward into Colorado brings a traveler to the Rocky Mountains. The rugged Colorado territory is home to many hundreds of great peaks in excess of 10,000 feet, riddled with seams of valuable minerals. Countless boom towns have sprung up to drag their fortunes from the earth’s rocky clutches.

Coffin Rock began as just such a town—founded when copper was discovered in the surrounding mountains. Smaller claims came and went, and the town’s fortunes rose and fell accordingly. But it was one big strike, and the man who made it, that shaped the town’s history and its current predicament.
