Colorado Photography

Our Colorado Colorado is a state of unsurpassed majesty and scenic splendour, a state so diverse, so rugged and so resource, rich that in the 141 years since its founding, it has appealed to dreamers and schemers of all types. Reflecting this diversity, the book is a rich visual tribute to the state, including such popular sites as Rocky Mountain National Park, the Rocky Mountains, and Mesa Verde, as well as the cities of Denver and Boulder. Both residents and visitors will be drawn to this elegant volume, which celebrates the beauty, grandeur, and intimacy of the Colorado landscape through the lens of a local resident whose love for the state comes through in every page.

Colorado: A History in Photographs Photography in Colorado was encouraged as early as 1861, when newspaper editor William Byers wrote in the Rocky Mountain News, "Secure the shadow, ere the substance perish," and roused the citizenry to take photographs of their families, friends, landscape, homes, and mills in order to document their lives and share them with others. The revised edition of Colorado: A History in Photographs draws on this rich legacy, portraying Colorado's history in images taken from the frontier era to the present, all accompanied by a vivid, updated narrative. Presenting a broad view of countless aspects of life in Colorado and including 270 black-and-white photographs, this book will inform, entertain, and inspire all those who delight in learning more about the history of the Centennial State.
