San Luis Valley Residents Demand Retraction From Press
A mass meeting in Alamosa on May 31 1909 produced resolutions denouncing the Rocky Mountain News and the Denver Times for alleged slander against the San Luis Valley. The document accuses northern Colorado papers of bias to aid land companies and divert homeseekers, while praising valley crops and profits and demanding a fair retraction.
