Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural Resources and Industrial Development and Condition of Colorado Thirteen years ago Colorado was admitted into the Union. Before the commencement of the present century there is no written record of the civilized habitation of the country now known as Colorado, except in the southern portion, where a few Mexicans and Spaniards had made a settlement, and here their establishments still remain. The country now embraced by Colorado was first explored by Americans in 1806, when the expedition of Lieutenant Zebulon Pike marched across the plains to Pike's Peak, that sublime statue of nature which stands before the world in romance, poem and picture - a beacon to western civilization. In 1820 the expedition of Colonel S. H. Long came across the plains, and in 1842-4 occurred the celebrated exploration of General John C. Fremont across the Rocky Mountains. These three courageous explorers, with their armored retinue of brave men, like the Spaniards who came and went away two centuries before them, bore testimony of the great mineral wealth of the country but each and all reported no discovery of precious metals. As if by the eternal fitness of things, this discovery was reserved for the progressive people of to-day. The first actual settlement, from which has grown the present population, was made in 1858, when a party of explorers, under the leadership of W. G. Russell, a Georgian, found gold on Dry creek, seven miles south of the site of Denver, and made their first settlement at the latter place. The news was spread abroad of this discovery, and others which quickly followed, inspired in the people of the Eastern States that spirit of western immigration which gave world-wide fame to the "Pike's Peak Country" in 1858 and '59 and started in motion the wheels of industry which have since that time developed fabulous wealth in the State. Colorado was organized as a Territory by act of Congress, February 28, 1861, and admitted as a State in 1876, the Centennial year of the nation. The State takes its name from its largest stream, the Colorado river, a name bestowed by Spaniards and derived from the generally red color of its waters, the result of the disintegration of the reddish, clayey soils which the river drains in its devious course through the hills and canons of the State toward the sea. Colorado is situated between latitude 37 and 41 north, and longitude 1020 and 109 west. It is bounded on the east by Kansas and Nebraska, on the west by Utah, on the north by Wyoming Territory, and on the south by Indian Territory and New Mexico. The State has an area of 104,500 square miles. Its average length, east and west, is 380 miles; its breadth north and south, 280 miles, and it contains 55 counties.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Resources, Wealth and Industrial Development of Colorado: Published by the Agricultural Department, Colorado Exhibit, at the World's Columbian Exposition, June 1, 1893 The wheels of progress have turned rapidly in Colorado. They now keep pace with the whirling machinery of all the industrial world, and each successive year leaves a record of advancement unequalled in the history of civilization. The eminent statesmen who formed our National Congress half a century ago derided the idea of white settlement being possible west of the Missouri river. No portion of the great West has played a more conspicuous part than Colorado in the changes which have been wrought in national history since those times. The first settlement in Colorado was made by a party of gold seekers, who located on the site of Denver in 1858. The first discovery of gold was made in the spring of 1859, and it was the fame of this discovery that gave rise to the memorable Pike's Peak flood of immigration, which became the basis of the present population and also the beginning of the wonderful industrial development of to-day. Colorado was organized as a territory in 1861, and when admitted as a State in the Union in 1876 had a population of only 65,000. By the census of 1890, it was accorded a population of 412,000. Its actual population in 1893 can safely be estimated at 450,000. Attracted by the great wealth and diversity of Colorado's natural resources, the more intelligent and courageous have come to the new country to bring it under the control of their genius and their labor. They have come from the fields and shops and the luxurious homes of North America, and they have come from every civilized quarter of the globe. So that it is the concentrated energy and genius of the world that is developing Colorado. In all the departments of industry the State is only in the primary stage of its development, with boundless wealth in the possibilities of its soil for agriculture, in its enormous treasures of silver and gold, in its vast deposits of coal and iron, and its immeasurable and diversified resources for manufacture. The natural advantages of Colorado present a surprising study to people abroad. The State comprises an area of 103,477 square miles, or 66,205,875 acres. It has two natural divisions - mountains and plains. The mountains are filled with the precious metals, with coal, iron and stone, with marble and granite and innumerable minerals of commerce and manufacture. In silver and gold it is the largest producer in America. The great park system of the Rocky Mountains, embracing the famous San Luis Park, South Park, Middle Park and North Park, comprises an area collectively larger than that of Ohio. These parks are valuable for stock raising and agriculture and contain some of the noted watering-place resorts, hunting and fishing grounds of Colorado.

Download or read book Selling America written by Christina A. Ziegler-McPherson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth look at the motivations behind immigration to America from 1607 to 1914, including what attracted people to America, who was trying to attract them, and why. Between 1820 and 1920, more than 33 million Europeans immigrated to the United States seeking the "American Dream"-an image of America as a land of opportunity and upward mobility sold to them by state governments, railroads, religious and philanthropic groups, and other boosters. But Christina A. Ziegler-McPherson shows that the desire to make and keep America a "white man's country" meant that only Northern Europeans would be recruited as settlers and future citizens while Africans, Asians, and other non-whites would either be grudgingly tolerated as slaves or guest workers or be excluded entirely. This book reframes immigration policy as an extension of American labor policy and connects the removal of American Indians from their lands to the settlement of European immigrants across the North American continent. Ziegler-McPherson contends that western and midwestern states with large American Indian, Asian, or Mexican populations developed aggressive policies to promote immigration from Europe to help displace those peoples, while Southern states sought to reduce their dependency upon Black labor by doing the same. Chapters highlight the promotional policies and migration demographics for each region of the United States.
