Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the State of Colorado, Vol. 3 of 4: Embracing Accounts of the Pre-Historic Races and Their Remains; The Earliest Spanish, French and American Explorations; The Lives of the Primitive Hunters, Trappers and Traders; The Commerce of the Prairies; The First American Settlements Founded; The Dev This volume brings the historic political annals of Colorado to the year 1887. Some further matters prepared for it have necessarily been deferred to the fourth and last of the series, from lack of space. The latter half is devoted to the chronicles of twelve of the original sixteen counties organized by acts of the first Territorial Legislative Assembly, and those of the remainder then, and since instituted down to 1889 inclusive, will appear in our next. It will be comprehended that these sketches have been written without reference to advertising purposes, with no thought of unduly inflating or exaggerating their advantages, or other intent than to truthfully record the incidents attending their inception, and the material stages of progress from the beginning of settlement to the year 1890, a period of about thirty-one years. This purpose is best served when the actual conditions are stated. There is so much excellence, such lavish abundance of natural resources in each section epitomized, it is only essential to set them forth as they stand, under such development as may have been given them during the period in which intelligent effort has been engaged in shaping the various channels of industry and commerce. Nothing further seems to be required than to provide a basis for such elaboration in other forms of public presentation as contemporaneous and future writers may desire. It will be understood also, that in passing through the primary and formatory processes of settlement, much of the flotsam and jetsam cast up by passing events, and retained as reminiscences in the minds of the pioneers, belon grather to the domain of romance than that of the historian, as they are the invariable accompaniments of growth without special value or importance, except as memories. Most of the facts worthy of preservation in a work of this character have been related, as far as possible in chronological order, through the several periods to the concrete results of the current epoch.
