Title: Great Introduction.
Review: If you are interested in Colorado history, this is the place to start. It is an overview of all topics in Colorado history, and provides recommended readings in the back if you are interested in further research.A couple of previous reviewers had complaints which are without merit (at least for this edition, I haven't read the previous four editions.) One complains about the writing. While the authors won't win any Pulitzers for their prose, it is a competently written, clear book without any academic jargon.As for the criticism of the pre-Columbian coverage, they summarize what is known from the archaeological record. They don't engage in speculative flights of fancy, as some recent authors do, about all the details of those societies. The Pueblo civilizations in particular are difficult, as they abandoned their homes in Colorado well before the Europeans came into the area.
