Wrong Information,
By Nick Wingerd (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hidden Colorado: Including Denver, Boulder, Aspen, Vail, Rocky Mountain National Park and Mesa Verde National Park (Paperback)
The author of this book needs to check his research next time. He wrongly claims that the early settlement of Auraria grew into the present suburb of Aurora--page 45. This is completely incorrect. Auraria was located on the west side of present down-town Denver and merged with Denver in the mid 1800s. Currently the Auraria Higher Education Center, a tri-institutional campus, rests atop the former location of Auraria. Aurora can be found east of down-town Denver and is an independent suburb of Denver. There is no physical way that Auraria became Aurora. How can the author claim to know the hidden charms of Colorado when he demonstrates a complete lack of understanding regarding the state's history and geography?
