Experience Colorado with this new, expanded edition of A Colorado
History. For fifty years, the authors of this preeminent resource have
led readers on an extraordinary exploration of how the state has
changed--and how it has stayed the same.
An engaging narrative, A Colorado History begins with the prehistoric
cliff dwellers of Mesa Verde and proceeds chronologically with accounts
of Colorado's role as a frontier territory--its fur trade, mining,
Indian relations, cattle ranching, and homesteading--and continues to
the present day political, economic, cultural, and environmental issues.
Fascinating, informative, and accessible to history buffs, students,
researchers--or anyone--interested in the remarkable story of a
remarkable place. The tenth edition features a new chapter on recent
events, new photos, and an updated bibliography section.
