O knihe

Sometimes lost stories are the best stories. Hidden in the archives of a small town museum this story provides insight to the 1886-1889 boomtown era of Southeast Colorado and in particular a town called Boston, Colorado. Boston was the second of seventeen towns which were started during this town building era of the late 1880s. On November 16, 1886, four members of the Atlantis Town Company stopped on the Southeast Colorado plains to stake out and establish Boston, Colorado. Frontier newspaperman Sam Konkel joined the town company and promoted Boston as "The Utopian City of the Plains." Built to catch the railroad and become the county seat of a new Colorado county, Boston evolved into one of the wildest towns on the American frontier. The April 1889 siege of Boston was the end of the Colorado Boomtown era and the old west town that was as wild as they come.
