Book Description
Excerpt from Colorado Pioneers in Picture and Story It has been my crrt to weave around a thread of history the legends, traditions and reminiscences Of the Pioneers, which accentuate the great phases in the development of Colorado, from its earliest history to the time it became a State in 1876. Ever since I journeyed into Denver in a Pullman car, in 1872 l have been interested in the people who blazed the way. I have listened to their tales Of how they won the West, and have found in the real incidents in the lives of real people a charm to which fiction can never attain. The labor of the Pioneers involved the highest type of moral as well as physical courage, and by placing their brave deeds in an historical setting I hope to preserve their intensely interesting human Side and Show how the isolated settlement, in a dreary desert, found its way into the sisterhood Of states.

Pages : 165
Book Description
Jolie Anderson's collection of wild west tales focuses on the early frontier history of Colorado's plains and includes a look at some of the state's early pioneers like the "59ers" who promoted the state through travel guides and newspapers, exaggerating tales of gold discovery and even providing inaccurate maps to promote settlement in the plains; the perils of living and traveling the major gold routes the town of Julesburg relocated four times in a decade; feuds; Indian fights; outlaws, and even early rodeo history. These stories and events shaped the Colorado territory and are a rich glimpse into the early history of the state.
Historic Photos of Colorado Mining
Author: Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 1618583875
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
In 1859, 100,000 folks started the journey to the Pikes Peak goldfields, but only 50,000 completed the trip. An additional 25,000 soon gave up and went back home. The remainder not only brought statehood to the central Rocky Mountains, but they also brought the industrial world to isolated areas in the high mountains, where they mined mineral deposits for gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper, among others. This book, Historic Photos of Colorado Mining, provides an introduction to Colorado's mining history through photographs from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Accompanying captions provide specific contexts for the photos and tell the story of the prospectors, miners, engineers, teamsters, railroaders, and townspeople who served as entrepreneurs and workers in industrializing the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Many ruins from the mining days are now recognized as historic landmarks. But the stories behind the ruins are often as fascinating as the ruins themselves—the struggle to survive and thrive in the wilderness is always a compelling tale.
