While working upon his very popular book "Wildest of the West," Forbes Parkhill located a real "find" of material providing new insight into the earliest years of Colorado history and its legal proceedings, both civil and criminal cases. This book claims to be the first published record of the treason cases in Colorado growing out of the Civil War. As historical record, these court cases are of inestimable value because in most instances they include contemporary testimony taken under oath. Here, also, is new data and fresh insights into the life of the Territory, from the earliest mining discoveries to the building of the railroads. Scarce U.S. Colorado History. Western Americana. First Edition. Hardback
