Wildcharacters, diverse cultures, spooky myths and slippery sales schemes colorColorado’s past. In a place where shamelessshowdowns and dusty shootouts over money, drink and women were oncestandard procedure, storytelling around campfires became an integral part of arich heritage. From the jackalope and vampires to Indian curses and snake oilsalesmen, the Centennial State has it all. Weirder still are the strange buttrue stories like that of the first body buried in La Junta’s FairviewCemetery, a man who landed there for refusing alcohol to a kid, and that of thehotel in Telluride that once offered a promotion that included funeral costswith your stay. While history may have neglected these silly, seedy andsalacious stories, author Stephanie Waters has rediscovered Colorado’s bestforgotten tales.
