Colorado Disasters: True Stories of Centennial State Tragedies and Triumphs - Paperback

by Phyllis J. Perry (Author)

IN COLORADO DISASTERS, Boulder historian and educator Phyllis J. Perry chronicles the Centennial State's gamut of natural and human-caused disasters, from foods, mudslides and avalanches, to massive wildfires, deadly explosions, train wrecks, airplane crashes, monster tornadoes, and more. Covering more than two centuries of tragedies, Perry's careful research and lively writing brings to life the true stories--at turns heart-stopping and heroic--of the victims, survivors, and rescuers who were there.
