Vegetable Patriarchs Fall To Progress In Canon City
The destruction of two ancient cottonwood trees at Sixth street and Rudd avenue removes city landmarks once seen as sentinels guarding settlers. The author recalls their age, their role in local lore, and a tale of a mountain lion sighting near the Ludwick cottage in the early days. The piece laments iconoclasm and notes a new gas light installation at O F Sawyer Dry Goods Company, praising its daylightlike illumination.
