A good start, but needs improvement.,
By webster (Virginia & Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pioneers, Peddlers, and Tsadikim (Paperback)
It provides a basis to start knowing part of the Jewish history of Colorado and certainly captures in detail what it does cover. Yet, much is missing. On the first page she dismisses Crypto-Jews as not important, yet in the back of the book lists them (with one sentence) as a community in the St. Luis valley in 1997. Surly a community that has survived in Colorado since the 1500's merits inclusion. There is no mention of gay and lesbian Jews even though Denver and Boulder have become, since the first edition, the site of large gay and lesbian communities with visible ties to the Jewish community at large. The author takes some descriptions to extremes, as in the example of one individual who the author reports as a fact to have written over a million letters in his lifetime. Perhaps it is time for a third edition.
