This review is from: Colorado: A History of the Centennial State (Paperback)
This book was used as a text book in one of my history classes at CSU back in the mid 80s. I kicked myself later on after selling it when I graduated. I never did consider this book to be a "text" book, but a highly enjoyable factual account written with precision and accuracy. I was only slightly disappointed not to be able to find the 2nd Ed., which is the one I read, but bought the 4th Ed. There are some subtle changes, but changes I did notice. Excellent, excellent book!

If you have to get this book for your colorado History class and the one you're supposed to get is the 4th edition, the 3rd edition (with the rust colored cover) is nearly identical and has very few and very minute changes to it. There are a few photos in the 4th that are not in the 3rd, but for the 19.00 I saved I had a "hot lunch" on campus instead of packing my lunch and consoled myself. It was difficult but I got through it...Seriously, if you're wondering if this is one of those books that you can get away with an older, cheaper edition, yes. Yes it is.

This review is from: Colorado: A History of the Centennial State (Paperback)
This book, purchased for a college History class is mediocre at best. It can't be used very effectively for in depth information reagrding events of great importance in Colorado History. It reads like a tourists guide to Colorado History. I find myself constantly having to refer to websites and other books for information. If you purchase this book for a class, be prepared to spend alot more time researching topics outside of the drive-thru information you get out of this text.
