Download or read book Pleas and Petitions written by Virginia Sánchez and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2020-03-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pleas and Petitions Virginia Sánchez sheds new light on the political obstacles, cultural conflicts, and institutional racism experienced by Hispano legislators in the wake of the legal establishment of the Territory of Colorado. The book reexamines the transformation of some 7,000 Hispano settlers from citizens of New Mexico territory to citizens of the newly formed Colorado territory, as well as the effects of territorial legislation on the lives of those residing in the region as a whole. Sánchez highlights the struggles experienced by Hispano territorial assemblymen trying to create opportunity and a better life in the face of cultural conflict and the institutional racism used to effectively shut them out of the process of establishing new laws and social order. For example, the federal and Colorado territorial governments did not provide an interpreter for the Hispano assemblymen or translations of the laws passed by the legislature, and they taxed Hispano constituents without representation and denied them due process in court. The first in-depth history of Hispano sociopolitical life during Colorado’s territorial period, Pleas and Petitions provides fundamental insight into Hispano settlers’ interactions with their Anglo neighbors, acknowledges the struggles and efforts of those Hispano assemblymen who represented southern Colorado during the territorial period, and augments the growing historical record of Hispanos who have influenced the course of Colorado’s history.

Download or read book 49 Trout Streams of Southern Colorado written by W. Chad McPhail and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2013-04-01 with total page 679 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone planning a fishing trip to beautiful southern Colorado needs this book to locate the best fly-fishing streams. Most guidebooks focus on large, well-known drainages. Williams and McPhail identify many locations not included in other books. They also recommend appropriate flies for each stream in entries that bring out the unique character of every fishing spot. In alphabetical order, the authors describe fishing waters from the Animas River to Willow Creek. They have intentionally omitted some lesser-known highcountry streams to avoid traffic and overfishing. They have also been selective in assigning flies, picking patterns that have worked for them rather than the obvious ones that local fly shops might recommend.

Download or read book Scammed written by Vicki Barber and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if you discovered an organization working to undermine your private property rights, subvert your local sovereignty and undermine the integrity of your locally elected officials to oversee land use policy and economic development? What if you discovered this was being done through the designation of a National Heritage Area (NHA) in the region where you live? What would you think if your local jurisdictions financed this organization for many years through block grants and lodging taxes? All the while, these jurisdictions were unwittingly financing the subversion of their own elected authority and sovereignty. What if you discovered this was a top-down scheme from the state tourism office and the National Park Service (NPS) under the guise of a heritage sustainability partnership of governmental and nongovernmental entities? How would you feel if this organization and the NPS attempted to by-pass the public to impose a NHA over a whole region of your state? How would you feel if this organization, in conjunction with the NPS, had a feasibility study already underway before most of the people in the region knew about it? SCAMMED? Canyons & Plains National Heritage Area Initiative for Southeastern Colorado by Norman Kincaide, Ph.D., went live on Amazon.com on Tuesday, January 26, 2016. This nonfiction work recounts the campaign against the Canyons & Plains NHA in which Kincaide reproduces the editorial and presentation efforts by citizens of southeast Colorado opposing the NHA initiative which targeted the seven-county region of Baca, Bent, Crowley, Kiowa, Las Animas, Otero and Prowers.Although Kincaide grew up in Pueblo County, he delves into the story from the point of view of an uninitiated outsider who retired to Rocky Ford in 2008. Knowing little about Pinon Canyon Maneuver Site or National Heritage Areas, this is Kincaide's story of discovery about the NHA, and discoveries by others as well. Among the contributors to this work are: Barb Leininger of La Junta, Elisabeth Erickson-Noe of San Jose Ranch, Bent County, Kimmi Lewis of Muddy Valley Ranch, Las Animas County, Marvin Hasser of Hand Springs Ranch, Bent County and Korry Lewis, Esq. of Cheyenne, WY. The fifteen chapters, three appendices and bibliography, describe and illustrate Kincaide's journey from member of Canyons & Plains of Southeast Colorado in 2009 to his eventual opposition to the NHA initiative and the founding of Southeast Colorado Private Property Rights Council. These chapters carry the reader through the process by which the citizens of southeastern Colorado challenged and ultimately defeated the Canyons & Plains NHA in 2014. Through a public outreach and media campaign those opposing the NHA effectively raised public awareness to the detrimental aspects of NHA designation. This public awareness brought the issue to their elected officials who responded by passing resolutions opposing the Canyons & Plains NHA. Kincaide emphasizes this was a victory for private property rights, for the sanctity of local sovereignty and maintaining the integrity of locally elected officials to oversee land use policy and economic development. The unelected management or coordinating entity of the NHA would have subverted local sovereignty by inviting interference in local affairs by special interest groups who claimed to be stakeholders in the region, such as the National Park Service and The Nature Conservancy.Appendix A captures the seven boards of county commissioners' resolutions opposing the NHA. Appendix B is an abridged collection of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) documents, requested on March 3, 2014 by Southeast Colorado Private Property Rights Council. Appendix C captures those FOIA documents requested on July 21, 2014 by the Colorado Independent CattleGrowers Association.
