Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Colorado Colonel, and Other Sketches Something unusual was evidently taking place on those early - summer days when the soft winds swept like a caress over the prairies and in at the open windows of the Har grave cottage. An old green trunk had been brought from its hiding-place in the attic, and ransacked, repaired, and many times packed and repacked in order that it might go again into the busy world to which it had for many years now been a stranger, a trunk in whose tray was a bundle of letters and dim daguerreotypes daintily tied with a bit of blue ribbon on which were faded spots, tear-stains or time-stains, who knows? - things that were yet very precious to their owner, Rebecca Norwood, (aunt Be becca, she was generally called, ) the maiden aunt of Agnes Hargrave.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peak and Prairie: From a Colorado Sketch-Book And suggestions caught from time to time by a single observer in a comparatively narrow field of observation. Narrow as the field is, how ever, it offers a somewhat unusual diversity of scene; for that most charming of health resorts known in these pages as Springtown, is the chance centre of many varying interests. In its immediate vicinity exists the life of the prairie ranch on the one hand and that of the mining-camp on the other while dominating all as it were - town, prairie, and mountain fastness - rises the great Peak which has now for so many years been the goal of pilgrimage to men and women from the Eastern States in pursuit of health, of fortune, or of the free, open air life of the prairie. If, from acquaintance with these fictitious characters set in a very real environment, the reader be led to form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Colorado The motor boat Rambler lay pulling at her anchor-chain in the muddy waters of the Gulf of California. To the North opened the wide, shallow mouth of the Colorado river, with its many shifting currents and treacherous sandbars. Eastward stretched a Mexican desert, where flourished cacti and forms of animal life unknown to other parts of the world. Beyond this waste of sand, which had, in times long gone by, formed the bed of a lake, rose the peaks and ridges of the Sierra del Pinacates mountains. To the South the Montague islands shut out the body of the Gulf, and Westward a patch of desert led out to a mountain range.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Colorado, Vol. 2 of 3: Prepared Under the Supervision of the State Historical and Natural History Society of Colorado The first successful colony on the neighboring Martinez grant, west of the Rio Grande, was established in 1854. The promoter of this colony was J osé Maria J aquez, who selected a site at Guadaloupe, on the Conejos River, in August of that year. While final preparations were being made to move to the new location in the autumn of 1854, the colonists were joined by Major Lafayette Head of Ser villeta.11 Head was a Missourian who had gone to Santa Fé in 1846 as a private under the command of Colonel Sterling Price. At the expiration of his term of service he decided to remain in New Mexico, where, as merchant and colonizer, he rose to a position of influence among his Mexican friends as is shown by his subsequent elections to the legislatures of New Mexico and Colorado. In spite of troubles with the Indians, the Conejos colonists retained their lands; the population of Conejos County in 1868 was estimated at mostly Mexicans.12 Apart from an occasional Indian scare, it was a quiet life that the Mexicans lived in the San Luis Valley. Their principal industry was grazing, and for theirflocks and herds there was an abundance of land and grass and water. In agriculture they followed the crude methods used by their fathers for generations before them. They were scarcely touched by the rushing currents of life in the outside world.
