Description
Beginning with its archaeology and geography, so vital to understanding the state, Colorado's history is traced from the Spanish explorers, the gold rush through the challenges of transportation to its modern day evolution. Both its citizens transplanted from other lands, as well as tourists, are lured to the state by its beautiful vistas, thoughtfully preserved for future generations. Includes hundreds of black and white and color images, a complete index, and an illustrated chronology of significant events in the state's history.
