Product Description
Colorado has historical high points as grand as its magnificent mountains. In It Happened in Colorado, author James A. Crutchfield scales thirty-four of these historical summits, providing a breathtaking view of the state's provocative past. He whisks you from a prehistoric bison hunt to a hypnotic hunt for the spirit of a child long dead, from an unfortunate Indian massacre to a mad scramble for a fortune in gold. Along the way, he introduces a cast of colorful Colorado characters, including intriguing explorer Zebulon Pike, frontier showman "Buffalo Bill" Cody, convicted cannibal Alfred Packer, labor activist Mary Jones, and open-minded Ouray, chief of the Utes. In a lively, easy-to-read style that is entertaining as well as informative, It Happened in Colorado presents the most fascinating moments in Colorado's history.
