A wild west collection of the stories, people, and events that have shaped the spirit of Colorado.For over a century, the Colorado Historical Society has been the keeper of the region's most vital narratives. Now, in celebration of its 125th anniversary, Western Voices gathers the best of the best from its vast archives. This commemorative anthology transcends the myths of the Old West to reveal the gritty, diverse, and deeply human history of Colorado as told by those who lived it and those who have studied it most closely.
From the first inhabitants' petroglyphs to the complex social issues of the modern era, this collection features a powerhouse lineup of contributors, including:
Whether exploring the experimental station of Nikola Tesla, the short-lived boom of high-altitude mining towns, or the headlines of the 20th century, Western Voices offers a mosaic of the Colorado experience. It is an essential volume for history buffs, students of the American West, and anyone who wants to hear the authentic voices of the High Plains and the Rocky Mountains.
- Literary Legends: Insights from Pulitzer Prize-winner Wallace Stegner and Western icon Louis L'Amour.
- Renowned Historians: Thought-provoking essays from Patricia Nelson Limerick, Thomas J. Noel, and Quintard Taylor.
- Hidden Histories: Compelling accounts of the Buffalo Soldiers, the struggle of Colorado's beetworkers, the tragic Sand Creek Massacre, and the pioneering cycliennes of the 1890s.
