It Happened in Colorado goes behind the scenes to tell these stories, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Centennial State. -Recount the harrowing week-long battle during which only twenty-four surviving civilians held off nearly 700 Native American warriors -Read about Leadville's enormous ice palace--complete with indoor skating rink--constructed as a publicity stunt in 1895 -Learn how the individual who carried out the most successful espionage operation in American history helped delay settlement of the West -Relive the terrifying day one angry citizen nearly destroyed his small town with a jerry-rigged tank Colorado has historical high points as grand as its magnificent mountains. In this book, author James A. Crutchfield scales thirty-eight of these historical summits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-7064468\"\u003eJames a.
