About this Item
[Colorado] Our Little Three Year Old--Colorado Springs Gazette ca. 1874 4pp. 10.125 x 7.25 inches. Light wear, previous folds from mailing; with mailing envelope with bold Colorado Springs cancellation. Slight tear on top and edge from opening. Nifty promotional tract re-printed from the Colorado Springs Gazette circa 1874. The title arrives from the fact that Colorado Springs was officially incorporated in 1871 with the tract being published three years hence. The area east of Pike's Peak, in and around what would become Colorado Springs was variously populated since the Pike's Peak Gold Rush of 1859. This pamphlet provides ample evidence of the resources and climate Colorado Springs provides, including its early fame as a health resort, the finely laid out roads lined with trees, and an inventory of active businesses and schools. In addition, the pamphlet details religious institutions and county government activities. A small section highlights the newly established Manitou Springs. The back page contains ads for local businesses. The pamphlet was mailed to Hon. A.B. Copley a member of the State Legislature of Michigan. Whomever mailed the flier left multiple intriguing manuscript notes with several implying that Colorado Springs was a strong temperance community. "A town that would delight Uncle Will's head. All temperance," followed by "No whiskey saloons!! Nor Beer Halls!!! A completely Temperance town." The name "Legrand" is docketed on the edge of the envelope. We find no record of this publication in OCLC as of April 2023. Seller Inventory # 375
