‘To Aspen & Back’ book signing and reception, 5-7 p.m. Aug. 26 at Wheeler/Stallard Museum Grounds and 5 p.m. Aug. 28 at Explore Booksellers

Aspen Historical Society, Explore Booksellers and DJ Watkins are hosting book signings for the republishing of “To Aspen & Back: An American Journey,” by journalist Peggy Clifford. Originally published in 1980 with a limited run that is nearly impossible to find today, the book is an insightful history and deep examination of the social and cultural forces that shaped Aspen while at the same time threatened to destroy its ideals. The republished edition features a full complement of photographs curated by leading photographer David Hiser (including images from the AHS collection), as well as a new afterword by Daniel Joseph Watkins, who led the effort to republish this enhanced version. The new edition also includes the original introduction by Hunter S. Thompson, a friend and political collaborator of Clifford’s who called her “the ultimate authority” on Aspen and called her book “an act of passion.” aspenhistory.org and explorebooksellers.com
