Aprašymas

Ferocity and Revelry on the Frontier

When Colorado Springs was founded next to the former territorial capital of Colorado City in 1871, the new town hoped the old town would be absorbed or go away altogether. Yet, Colorado City had survived since 1859 by offering what Colorado Springs would not - liquor, gambling and wild women. Prairie Dog O'Byrne, Dusty McCarty, Laura Bell McDaniel and a host of others added much color to over two dozen saloons and a sizeable red-light district. While the enclave of Ramona was founded specifically for drinking and prize fights. Author Jan Mackell Collins recounts the personalities and persuasions that contributed to making Old Colorado City a raucous, albeit important part of history in the American West.
