Journey from London to Cafion City and a Smelter Past
Letter recounts Guy A Harpy’s reminiscences of moving through Cafion City to work at the Santa Fe line and the Reduction Works. He describes night shifts roasting ore, fumes and heat, the ascent to day shift, and friendships with foremen and an Irish co-worker who later became a Pueblo police captain. He recalls his brother who built the Lincoln Park ditch and died, inspiring an unprinted verse about his brother’s life and death.
