Colorado Place Names

Summary: Fun book if your into history
Review: This is a great little book for those of you who like little bits of history. This book provides a short summary of the history or interesting facts of places in colorado. If you are into geneology you learn that a town or county may not have the same name today that it did 90 years ago. That complicates your search. This book lists many of those towns and gives you their current and old names,as well as the name of the county the town is or was in. You will often be told the origin of the place, and its nameas well as any interesting facts. I do recommend this book to historians or any one who just likes interesting tid bits. Its also fun to go visit some of those places and experience them first hand.
