Fort Collins
While today's Fort Collins is a popular destination for foodies and weekend adventurers, it was once a lonely military outpost poised on the nation's frontier. Cattle rustlers and trigger-happy cowboys walked an uneasy line between saloon doors and the hangman's noose. By 1895, Fort Collins had lost some of its gritty edge, and it became a dry town full of churches, sheep ranches and sugar beet farms. The city was again transformed over the past century into a community that embraced a thriving beer culture and green living. Local historian Barbara Fleming traces the story of the Choice City from its early pioneer days through its modern renaissance.
My Name Is Meggie
Eager to discover the world beyond her small Colorado town, young Meggie Bowman leaves her home at the turn of the 20th century in search of adventure. Her quest first takes her to New Orleans, where her long-lost uncle may have last been seen. She goes on to Paris and rural France, living there through most of World War I. Upon returning to the United States she settles in New York City, opens an illegal birth-control clinic, becomes an active suffragette, and eventually attends law school, spending the rest of her working life as an attorney advocating for women's rights. A feminist before the word was coined, she lives the life she has chosen with only one regret-leaving her infant daughter to be raised by her parents, a choice she hopes to rectify in later years. My Name Is Meggie , a sequel to the author's historical novel, Journeying, presents the extraordinary life of a strong, independent woman at a time when women were struggling for respect and the freedom to live the lives they chose.
Fort Collins
From a frontier town of the 1870s to a thriving city, Fort Collins, Colorado, has grown and evolved, losing some of its rich architectural heritage but preserving the distinctive beauty of its Old Town area.
Hidden History of Fort Collins
From its Wild West days to the early twentieth century, Fort Collins boasted its share of colorful characters. British import Edith Boothroyd saved a mare from meeting a tragic fate after the bridge she and the horse were traveling across unexpectedly collapsed. In 1915, barnstormer Billy Parker built his first biplane in a local field. Happy Jack slipped away from prison after slyly convincing the jailer to loosen his restraints. And Francis Carter-Cotton left investors holding the bag when he fled to Canada after racking up $300,000 in debt. Barbara Fleming divulges these entertaining stories and more.
