More That I Never Knew About Colorado, by Abbott Fay

Suggested by: no one; it's about Colorado, I must read it to see how much I recognize

So this is not Pulitzer-quality stuff, but there were some chapters on things that either I remember from my childhood or I've learned or read about since moving away.

One thing I didn't know is that Ouray (the city) actually produced a professional baseball player, Smoky Joe Wood, in the early 20th century. And that Joe Tinker, of Tinker-to-Evans-to-Chance fame, started life as a Denver Bear.

For Colorado history freaks only.
