True tales from the Centennial State’s past—from a prehistoric buffalo hunt to the artistic inspiration behind the Red Ryder BB rifle Colorado is known for its towering peaks, Native American culture, and rich mining history, but few may be aware of the $200 million diamond mine hoax, the British woman who summited Long’s Peak in 1973, or why Buffalo Bill Cody wasn’t buried in Cody, Wyoming. It Happened in Colorado goes behind the scenes to tell these stories, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped the Centennial State.

In this book, author James A. Crutchfield scales thirty-eight of these historical summits.
