Rocky Ford Enterprise in Rocky Ford, Colorado

A Great War for Consecrated Ground and Other Vignettes

A sweeping montage of wartime valor and moral reflection opens with a Harper's Weekly verse about Christians and Muslims fighting as one heavenly host, followed by a serialized romance excerpt where Blanche tends a wounded officer, confronts murder, duty, and vengeance, and discovers a medallion linking her family to a buried past. The scene shifts to legal notices and civic items, including a Milwaukee-bound lawyer’s wife, racing bits, and a miscellany of legislative actions and local affairs in a late nineteenth century newspaper miscellany.
