"I wanted to thank you for putting Wicked Old Colorado City out into the world. I liked the contrast at the heart of it, especially how Colorado Springs wanted the old Colorado City to disappear, while that very different town had already built its identity around the things the new town wouldn’t offer. The saloons, prizefights, red-light district, and characters like Prairie Dog O’Byrne and Laura Bell McDaniel also make the history feel much more human than a straightforward account of dates and buildings would." ~ Sheryl Browne, Author
