Author to sign books at museum Monday

The Museum of Northwest Colorado invites the public to a book signing from 1 to 3 p.m. Monday at the museum.

"D.C. Oakes, Family, Friends & Foe" by LaVonne J. Perkins is a "comprehensive, well researched book about the life of D.C. Oakes," according to a museum news release.

The book began when the author was rummaging around a flea market and found a small book, "Compositions Emma Oakes." In trying to learn who Emma was, she became intrigued with Emma's father, D.C., who was, among other things, involved with forming the Colorado territory.
