Blood
at Sand Creek: The Massacre Revisited
by Bob Scott, Robert Scott
Book Description: The dust around the site of the Sand Creek Massacre
settled long ago. The blood spilled there no longer stains the ground.
But the echoes of rifle shots, the death cries of the slain, and the words
of accusation and slander reverberate yet-150 years after the battle.
What really happened at Sand Creek, Colorado? Were the Native American
inhabitants of the village hapless victims or aggressive fighters? How
did the War Between the States influence hostilities between people groups
on the plains? Was Civil War hero Colonel John Chivington a ruthless murderer
of innocent women and children, or a political scapegoat? Blood at Sand
Creek reaches conclusions that will surprise some.
Using rare documents, sworn affidavits, and military records, historian
Bob Scott reexamines the fateful battle. Under his masterful pen, the drama
and intrigue of the Sand Creek Massacre unfolds. Its powerful leading characters
live again in these pages, inviting you to find truth amid the tragedy
in the Blood at Sand Creek.

Children
of the Storm: The True Story of the Pleasant Hill School Bus Tragedy
by Ariana Harner, Clark Secrest, Colorado Historical Society
Book Description: On the morning of March 26, 1931, Carl Miller
embarked on his usual school bus run through the vastness of Colorado's
southeastern plains. Miller's routine was to pick up some 20 young people
and deliver them to a pair of forlorn one-room schoolhouses. Then in the
late afternoon, Miller would climb back into his wooden school bus and
return his young charges to their farm homes. This would not be a usual
day for Miller and his young passengers, however. By late afternoon their
little school bus was marooned in the worst blizzard to strike Colorado
in nearly 50 years. Before rescuers arrived 33 hours later, driver Miller
and 5 of the young people-including his daughter-were dead or soon would
die. News of the so-called "Pleasant Hill School Bus Tragedy" soon flashed
around the world. Culled from newspaper accounts, archives, and interviews
with 6 survivors, now in their eighties, a moving story emerges. This is
a true tale of the will to survive, of media exploitation, false heroism,
lifelong heartbreak, and lessons learned by people too young to fully understand.

of Silver: Life in Colorado's Red Mountain Mining District
by P. David Smith
Book Description: A little over a century ago, the Red Mountain
Mining District in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado was
the scene of a "silver rush" with a resulting output of precious metals
in Colorado second only to that of Leadville. In a period of less than
twenty-five years, more than thirty million dollars in silver, lead, zinc,
copper, and gold were taken from the rich deposits in the mines along Red
Mountain Divide - an amount roughly equivalent to a quarter-billion of
today's dollars. ...

Among the Clouds: The Mosquito Range and the Origins of Colorado's Silver
Boom
by Harvey N. Gardiner
Book Description: In "Mining Among the Clouds," Harvey N. Gardiner
examines what one reporter dubbed "aerial" mining-silver mining at such
high altitudes that the miners were literally working among the clouds.
In the summer of 1871, two prospectors ventured high up Mount Bross in
Colorado's Mosquito Range. There they discovered an outcropping of silver
ore in blue limestone. An unprecedented find, it set of strike after strike
in Park County. Thus began the silver boom that gave rise to Leadville,
laying the foundation for Colorado's Silver Decade.
