Reviews
Praise for the previous editions:
"[A] well-illustrated, well-balanced volume. . . . The three authors incorporate the right quotes to paint the essence of the moment, provide insight, or capture the life and times. . . . [A]n excellent volume for students and the general public to learn the history of Colorado."
—New Mexico Historical Review
"[A] diverse and comprehensive reference book that belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in the state's history."
—Boulder Daily Camera
"For those of us who tour the Rockies on vacation, a good one-volume history of Colorado is essential. We now have a new edition of Colorado: A History of the Centennial State, a thick and well-illustrated history."
—Westerners' Signals
