For their assistance in accumulating images, I am also indebted to Coi Drummond-Gehrig of the Denver Public Library Western History Collection, Francisco A. For their help in securing images from the History Colorado collections for the book, I thank Aaron Marcus, Darren Eurich, and Jason Hanson.

This book would not exist without the tireless efforts of Steve Grinstead at History Colorado and Charlotte Steinhardt at the University Press of Colorado, whose dedication, effort, and enthusiasm make it difficult for me to put into words the extent of my gratitude. This book echoes my high school–era curiosity, and to that end I thank my teachers Teresa Neal and Monica Sparks for tolerating my youthful obsession, as well as the 1998 A-West Honors Humanities class, the finest of them all. In the late 1990s, as a student in the humanities program at Arvada West High School, I started each day by copying the This Day in History column from the Denver Post on the whiteboard, inflicting a daily dose of the past on my peers.
