Photo: Courtesy of History Colorado BORDERLANDS of SOUTHERN COLORADO he most prominent landmark near Pueblo, Colorado, the moun- T tain that inspired the patriotic song “America the Beautiful,” is Pikes Peak. Rising to 14,115 feet, it is named for Zebulon Mont- gomery Pike, a U.S. Army explorer who traveled through the Southwest in 1806 and 1807 on a mission of geopolitical reconnaissance, soon adding to the young nation’s lust for westward expansion. His accounts were compiled and translated into three languages for readers abroad. “Pikes Peak or Bust!” was the motto for prospectors during the Colorado gold rush. BY COLEMAN CORNELIUS 22 THE MAGAZINE OF THE COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM STATE | WINTER 2019 23 "We’re using borderlands as a lens to reveal the ways in which people from multiple places, perspectives, and traditions come together in these spaces. Sometimes they collide and some- times they mix, but they always form new ways of being. We feel like that really represents southern Colorado,” The exhibit is part of a History Colorado initiative called Borderlands of Southern Colorado. Through interconnected displays and lectures at its museums in Pueblo, Trinidad, and Fort Garland, History Colorado presents southern Colorado as a region whose inhabitants have been affected across generations by historically shifting political boundaries and related strife.
