Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket, As Issued. A personable collection of vignettes recounting the people and events of the Pikes Peak region, written by lifelong Colorado Springs journalist Dora Inez Foster. Born on the Foster homestead above Cheyenne Creek, the author spent her career as a society and church editor for the 'Gazette' and 'Telegraph', utilizing her deep roots to preserve the oral and lived history of her community. Rather than a formal academic study, this work functions as a curated archive of 'the great and the near great,' community builders, and early residents. It captures the transition of the Colorado frontier into a modern civic center through the eyes of a woman who witnessed the transformation firsthand.
