Colorado Letter Details early Denver growth and mining routes
A correspondent recalls moving to Colorado in 1858 and Denver's rise by 1861 with new streets and rails. He describes crossing plains, mining camps, rugged routes to Ouray and Lake City, wage scales for miners and mechanics, and the wealth of mines and middlemen profiting from bonds and ore sales. He notes dangerous mountain roads, the Royal Gorge, and the miners' hard lives amid vast prospects and rail links.
