    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL. VIII Denver, Colorado, January, 1931 No. 1 The Corning of the Automobile and Improved Roads to Colorado I1EROY R. IIAFBK Perhaps no de-veloprnent in Colora<lo history has been more far-reaching in its effects than the introcluetion of the automobile and the consequent revolution in transportation and road making. 'rhat the automobile ancl improved roads seem so commonplace to­ day need not blind us 1o the great historical significance of these l'.hanges. The first "steam wagon,'' called the "Prairie Motor," headed for Denver in ,July, 1862. It might br called an automobile or it might be called a locomotive, lint it nnrlertook to travel the dirt roads and move under its own power. General J. R. Brown con­ eeived the i<lra of this nnique vehicle for transportation across the plains to Colorarlo, and gave his order to tlie "rovelty Iron Works in Tew York. Eighteen months were necessary for the building of the machine and the cost was $12,000. In due time it was shipped to Nebraska City, where the over­ land journey was to begin. Herc it was accorded a grand recep- 1ion. A banquet " ·as tendt>re<l the promoters of the plan and a pleasure trip through the eity 1yas arranged. A string of road wagons couplt>d to the steam 1rngon were filled with enthusiasts for the ''Prairie :.'\Iotor'' an(l were drawn around thr city.
