Kaelin (Pikes Peak Historical Society) traces the history and culture of American Indians of the Pikes Peak region from the earliest-known era of human habitation roughly 12,000 years ago to the present. The book focuses on the Ute Indians, unusual in that they had no migration myth and who have always insisted that their ancestors were created on Pikes Peak. Numerous photographs depict archaeological digs of ancient sites, Ute culture and lifestyle, and a variety of personalities from leaders to grandmothers and children.
