AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Pella, Colorado pre-dated Hygiene by ten years. When the Denver, Utah, and Pacific Railroad opted to run their lines further north, the little town of Pella consolidated its services and community center with Hygiene. The land remains. Stories of the town's beginning and the people who lived there still exist. Inside these covers lies the tales of Colorado's beginnings and its exploration. Diary entries of encounters with Native Americans, range wars, and adversity record the travels of those crossing the dry, and hot Great Plains in the search of gold and new beginnings.When the hunt for riches proved fruitless, many returned to their roots'farming. Men settled in the rich bottomland of the St. Vrain to raise families, care for their crops, and become involved in the political development of Colorado and Boulder County.Benedict, Diane Goode is the author of 'Refuge in the Valley : 1800s Pella, Colorado', published 2004 under ISBN 9780971571471 and ISBN 0971571473.
