Phil Coyote here. Left home at 14 and met up with @barry Plunker Adams and assisted him and @Garrick Beck to promote in 1971 and organize the First Rainbow Gathering in 1972 in Colorado attended by 35,000 people. Throughout the1970s I assisted in organizing and promoting the subsequent National Gatherings. I wrote a free book online for anyone to read about all this. One of the places it can be found online is the Literary Archive. It is called simply: "Rainbow."
