In this poetic personal narrative, Thomas P. Huber reflects on two seemingly unrelated places—the North Fork Valley in western Colorado and the Coulon River Valley in Provence, France—and finds a shared landscape and sense of place.

At the time, neither realized that three more years of such bloodshed were still to come.

Einst bevölkerten unvorstellbare Geschöpfe die Erde. Sie errichteten Zivilisationen, erschufen Städte und Kultstätten. Sie waren mächtig und unvorstellbar gelehrig und intelligent. Bis sie etwas zurückdrängte. Etwas Grausames - etwas unvorstellbar Böses. Das Erbe jener Geschöpfe blieb bis heute im ewigen Eis verschlossen. Bis die Menschen in die Arktis aufbrachen und aus Zufall eine Stadt entdeckten. Eine Stadt, umgeben von gigantischen Felsmassiven - besser bekannt, als: Die Berge des Wahnsinns.
