The land that makes up Colorado has seen countless events over time. The 2010–2011 lecture series highlights some of these tales, including groundbreaking archaeological research that sheds new light on mountain life more than 10,000 years ago. We’ll explore the eighteenth-century horse trade, see early Colorado through the eyes of pioneer Augusta Tabor, and revisit the creation of a nascent Colorado Territory on the eve of the Civil War. The thoughts of the first Native American archaeologist juxtapose with the nineteenth-century growth in collecting indigenous cultural artifacts in Colorado, just as archaeologists and native people still strive to find common ground. Picking up where the last lecture series left off, we’ll continue the story of the Ludlow Massacre to learn what happened to labor relations in Colorado after 1914. All lectures take place at 1 and 7 p.m. at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, 1370 Grant Street, Denver. In August, History Colorado members will receive a lecture series brochure with registration information in the mail. Call 303/866-4686 for more information. Sponsored by the Walter S. Rosenberry, III Charitable Trust.
