Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New Colorado and the Santa Fe Trail The extraordinary development of the mineral resources of Colorado during the last three years has not only excited great interest throughout the country, and caused hundreds and thousands of persons to journey thither, but it has also rendered most of the books useless which have been previously written about that region. This volume may therefore be held to supply a manifest need. The facts given have been carefully verified; but discoveries and developments progress with such marvellous rapidity in the Far West, that he would be indeed a bold man who could claim that any descriptions would long hold good. It is hardly necessary to add that the book has been written from an absolutely independent point of view, and with a sincere intention of stating things as they are, rather than to suit special interests, or to meet the preconceived notions or the "requirements" of any portion of the public. It is entirely natural that men should fiercely champion and loudly exalt the particular points where it has been their lot to fight for fortune or existence, but an entire sympathy with each and all is not inconsistent with a judicial balancing of their claims. It will be seen that no extended or elaborate account is given of the mines and mining operations, which make up, in the eyes of many people, the sole attraction of Colorado and the adjacent regions. It would have been foolish, for several obvious reasons, to attempt anything of the kind in a book like this.
