Description

A to Z Colorado's Nearly Forgotten History 1776-1876 is an encyclopedic collection of 26 fascinating stories of historical events that took place prior to Colorado statehood. Within each chapter are interrelated historical vignettes of real people, places, and events which served as building blocks providing the foundation upon which the state of Colorado was built. Before Colorado had earned the right to become the 38th state of the United States, it was first forged in the calloused hands of Indigenous, Spanish, French, Mexican, and American people who lived during this century of conflict. The common thread that runs through these 26 stories is the concern that these people, places, and events that make up this 100 year period, in what is today's Colorado, are at risk of being forgotten. This 100-year period was not only an important part of Colorado's history but to America's history as well.

Author Biography:

John Wesley Anderson, MBA, is an award winning author, artist and TEDx speaker. John spent ten years in the aerospace business and retired from Lockheed Martin in 2012 to launch a consulting firm allowing him the freedom to pursue his love of writing, history, and the arts. Prior to working in the corporate world, John enjoyed a 30-year law enforcement career including being twice elected to serve as the Sheriff for El Paso County, Colorado (he was term-limited in 2003). His nonfiction book, Rankin Scott Kelly, First Sheriff El Paso County, Colorado Territory 1861-1867, received a 2017 Literary Award from the Historical Preservation Alliance of Colorado Springs. Most of John's books, including Native American Prayer Trees of Colorado are available online at Amazon.com. Although John has traveled around the world, including five adventures on a catamaran sailing the Caribbean, three corporate assignments into a combat zone on the Horn of Africa and landed on an aircraft carrier at sea, he remains most fascinated by the rich history and art found in his own back yard in the American Southwest.
