The road to Colorado was long and arduous, and it was no picnic once settlers and adventurers arrived. The Bad Old Days were rife with dangerous trails, bad whiskey, and social upheaval caused by a ratio of young men to women of 34-to-1. Randi presents a glimpse into this world of bad players and rough times.
Award-winning author Randi Samuelson-Brown was born in Denver and grew up in Golden. She is a a fifth-generation Coloradan and has written several books springing from the obscure and strange historical facts she’s uncovered by researching the early years of Colorado.
