It Happened in Colorado
Author: James A. Crutchfield
I've lived in Colorado since 2022. I love it here. I love the vibe of the large metro region I live in, the culture, the mountains and wildlife....and the history!
I recently went on a group trip to a history museum, and afterwards I wanted to gain more knowledge of Colorado history. I thought this book would be a good place to start.
It Happened in Colorado is an easy read only 128 pages, plus a Bibliography and index in the back. Topics are separated into 35 short snippets, ranging from ancient times up to the 1980s. Most of the topics I was familiar with already, but some events were completely new to me. Each story is about 3-4 pages long with just enough information to give basic facts.
At first I was disappointed that the information was so brief, but then I made a list of topics I want to research further. So, the book fulfilled the purpose I wanted.....a place to start in my efforts to study Colorado history!
