“The Quilt That Walked to Golden,” by Denver author Sandra Dallas, was awarded the 21st Benjamin Franklin Award in the History/Politics category by the Independent Book Publishers Association. The prize honors book design and production.
The book focuses on the stories and quilts of women who settled the American West. Pioneer women often recorded their lives in the quilts and personal documents left behind. Dallas tells their stories, including life and death on the Overland Trail.
Dallas is a novelist and writes a monthly column for The Denver Post on new regional nonfiction books. Her latest novel is “New Mercies,” which centers on Denverite Nora Bondurant, who inherits a crumbling plantation in Natchez, Miss.
