Gila Country Legend
The Life and Times of Quentin Hulse
"Quentin Hulse braided his life so tightly to the Gila country that to read this haunting biography and memoir is to learn an entire history of a remarkable land and one of its most colorful figures. If you didn't know him, reading GILA COUNTRY LEGEND will make you wish you had, right before it makes you believe you did."
- Louis Warren, author of Buffalo Bill’s America and The Hunter’s Game
“Gritty, gripping, and authentic—GILA COUNTRY LEGEND memorably portrays the life of Quentin Hulse in New Mexico’s sprawling Gila country. His story rings true, recounting both his virtues and his flaws. No one else could have told this story as well or in such detail as Nancy Coggeshall.”
- Marc Simmons, historian
