Early Days on the Western Slope of Colorado

by Sidney Jocknick

First printed in 1913, Early Days on the Western Slope of Colorado is perhaps the best primary source of information on the pioneer days of Colorado. Author Sidney Jocknick arrived in Colorado in 1870 and began a first-hand chronicle of his life and times. Jocknick was a friend to, and eye-witness of, many characters and events that shaped the early history of Colorado. He relates stories of Chief Ouray, Otto Mears, future governors, cowboys, outlaws and even Alferd Packer! Valuable information on towns such as Montrose, Grand Junction, Rico, Ouray and Olathe is also provided throughout the book.
