THE BOOK OF COLORADO SPRINGS
By Manly Dayton Ormes and Eleanor R. Ormes

illustration on front cover and gold print on spine; 366 pages;

"At least a score of years ago Mr. Ormes became
interested thru his work in Coburn Library, in collecting historical notes about
Colorado Springs and the vicinity. He informed himself about early writers
on this country and collected such of their work as he was able. He spent
the spare time of about five years cataloguing our daily papers. He had
collected pictures and data from pioneers of the region and he had written part
of the book when death overtook him ... The notes and typed material lay
untouched for nearly two years. It seemed to be a work that no one could
or would undertake. Then I felt impelled to do it, for I realized that so
much valuable information should be in accessible form. It necessitated
much research to complete the volume ...." from the Foreword, by Eleanor R.
Ormes.
