McGuE "Yes, sub-yes, sub, I wuz de fust white man to settle in de Pine ribber valley ob sou 'wes 'rn Colorado.'' ''That's right, John,'' chorused a group of a dozen or more grizzled white men, gathered at an annual reunion of San Juan pioneers-those argonauts who came to the region before 1880. My eyes bugged out like biscuits. The first speaker was a black man. A short, chunky block of glistening granite black. John Taylor. One of the most interesting characters ever to ride the wild trails in the wild southwest and across the border into Mexico before he settled in southwestern Colorado . .John Taylor was born at Paris, Kentucky, in 1841, according to his army record. He was the son of slave parents. ''Cos I doan 't 'membah much about de fust, two, free yea 's ob my life,'' John declared. ''But I 'spect I wuz lak all de odah pickaninnies.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State H lstorlcal Society of Colorado V OL. IX Denver, Colorado, September, 1932 No. 6 The Mission of Colorado Toll Roads ARTHUR RIDGWAY* Just as the occurrence of any physical event, however minute or insignificant, affects everything else in the material world, so each historical episode influences for good or ill the progress of civilization and culture. There is no impenetrable wall between past and present. The effects of erstwhile activities filter down through the intervening years to other generations whose contem­ poraneous philosophy and aspects of life are subtly tinted or even colored thereby. .A closed incident of the past often leaves for the future a continuing influence, the obscurity of which only adds to the charm of its determination. The toll roads of ColoradOI have come and gone-an affair that stripped of all the sentimental glamour with which moderns are prone to clothe vague incidents still remains strange enough to lure the most prosaic. It all started late in 1858 with the reported dis­ coveries of gold in the Pike's Peak Region. The throng of gold seekers with their dependent women and children surged slowly westward across the great plains and finally came to rest in the shadows of the mountains that for days previously had stretched along the entire western horizon of the immigrants, a low, blue, somber bank of mystery. Here they were, confronted by an appar­ ently impassable barrier and separated from civilized habitation by seven hundred miles of prairie the expanse of which was like the wideness of the sea, with the proverbial pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as illusive as the traditional will-o'-the-wisp.

Box 2391 Denver, Colorado 80201 September 1975 No. 192 CURRENT NEWS AND HISTORICAL NOTES OF ROCKY MOUNTAIN RAILROADING PUBLISHED MONTHLY FOR ITS MEMBERS BY THE ROCKY ^ MOUNTAIN RAILROAD CLUB Editor - - Darrell T. Arndt MEETING NOTICE: Date . Tuesday, September 9, 1975 Time ...» 7:45 P.M. Place . Southeast wing of Christ Episcopal Church, 2900 S„ University at Bates; offstreet parking at rear (east) of meeting hall. PROGRAM NOTES: For September, the program will be: "The SUPER CONTINENTAL - Three Days Across Canada!" For the month of September, Rocky Mountain Railroad Club members and friends are going to get it from "both barrels" as the Club's Editor will not only attempt to put together the September newsletter, but will also subject the more hardy souls to a showing of some of his railroad oriented slides at the September meeting. He has selected for showing, a trip that was taken by himself, the Club's recent president, Charles Max and his wife Dorothy, across the breadth of Canada by rail in 1972. Included in the program will be a bird's eyeview of the West from a jetliner on the way to Vancouver, B.C. from Denver, views of the trolley bus system in downtown Vancouver, and shots of the CP's "Canadian" and the CN's "Super Continental" in the Vancouver stations. Then, we will see a passenger's perspective of CN's transcontinental run as the 3,000 mile rail portion of the trip begins. During the ensuing 3% days, the Super Continental traverses the Canadian Rockies beginning the first evening out, crosses the vast wheat fields of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and runs through Manitoba and into the lakes and forests of Ontario.
