Information for Settlers in Greeley Colony Brightens Indian Country
A detailed Homestead prospectus from Byers & Parker outlines the Union or Greeley colony fifty two miles north of Denver. It notes a growing city of about two thousand, irrigation canals covering 30 000 to 40 000 acres with 6 000 to 10 000 under cultivation, and land for sale in Cache la Poudre valley under colony canals. Public meetings, local officials, and multiple town developments are described alongside colorful notes on residents, painters, farms, trees, and town improvements.
