  • Song of Pueblo," Created to Teach, Inspire and Instill Pride
    Friday, June 7, 2019 Dear City Council President and Members, Please consider sponsorship ofthe 2019 "Song of Pueblo," created to teach, inspire and instill pride. The "Song of Pueblo" is an oratorio that tells the history of Pueblo and southern Colorado in a highly entertaining way. lt was written by the renowned California playwright, Daniel Valdez, and includes reenactment video and historical stills along with 100% live music and narration. lt's a Pueblo story that runs the gamut of emotions. "Song" can be a destination offering for Pueblo. The production represents the various ethnic aspects of early Pueblo in songs such as "Elm Street" (ltalian), "Bojon Town" (Slovenian), "Founders' Fandango" (Mexican), "Mississippi Saints" (Mormon settlers), and Southern Colorado events such as those at Sand Creek and Ludlow. Your sponsorship at the $ '1000 level will help provide support to pay the cost of the musicians, venue rentals, and programs for the four live concerts scheduled between June and September. The back cover of the free souvenir program has been reserved for the City of Pueblo to show its support for this Pueblo treasure. Sponsors will be noted in the video credits at the end of each performance. "Song" has no paid staff and is administered by a volunteer dedicated to this portrayal of a strong and diverse Pueblo. Puebloans, Coloradans and visitors alike will come to see this show throughout the summer at the Hoag Theater on the Pueblo Community College campus (June 21 , July 19, and August 9), and school children will see a shortened version in September, thanks to a generous grant from the Robert Hoag Rawlings Foundation.

I first would like to acknowledge the gracious assistance of Bob Malcolm Super- visory Cartographer of Region 2 in Golden, Colorado who opened up the Region’s archive of maps and atlases to me in November of 2005. Also, I am indebted to long-time map librarians Christopher Thiry, Janet Collins, Donna Koepp, and Stanley Stevens for their early encouragement and consistent support of this project. In the fall of 2013, I was awarded a fellowship by The Pinchot Institute for Conservation and the Grey Towers National Historic Site. The Scholar in Resi- dence program of the Grey Towers Heritage Association allowed me time to write and edit my research on the mapping of the National Forest System in an office in Gifford Pinchot’s ancestral home.
