Book Description
The Centennial State joined the United States two days after the one-hundredth anniversary of the nation's founding. Yet before Colorado became a state, Native Americans, explorers, and fortune-seekers had already begun contributing the ideas and traditions that make the state a fascinating and diverse place to live. This book puts the history of the state in context, along with the latest information about the state's government, people, geography, and more.

Book Description
The Bad Old Days of Colorado celebrates the state’s glorious and rowdy past. Many people born and bred here relish just how “bad” things used to be: the terrain, the inhabitants and especially the quality of whiskey. It almost goes without saying that Colorado had all the characteristic Wild West elements—and in abundance! The chapters focus on the infamous and notorious rather than the law-abiding and civic-minded settlers. These pages, like the state, recount the tales of people who came West seeking, if not their fortune, at least opportunity. It is no secret that Colorado was settled by the adventurous willing to brave the harsh conditions and to prevail. Whether on the right or the wrong side of the law, all settlers and pioneers made unique contributions to the state’s complex culture. Certainly, in the nineteenth century, Colorado was not for the faint of heart.
