CRONIN AND ROBERT D. LOEVY INTRODUCTION In the fall of 2016 two professors of Political Science at Colorado College, Thomas E. Cronin and Robert D. Loevy, were offered the opportunity to write periodic opinion columns for the local newspaper – the Colorado Springs Gazette. This launched a longtime project of the two professors writing for the newspaper for a number of years. Previously Tom Cronin and Bob Loevy had written together for the Denver Post, but only periodically. They also collaborated on a book on government and politics in Colorado. This book is a collection of the newspaper stories Cronin and Loevy wrote for the Colorado Springs Gazette in the year 2019. These are the stories as Cronin and Loevy wrote them. The dates on the stories are when the columns were written and not when they appeared in the newspaper. The headlines are the “working” headlines used by Cronin and Loevy and not the headlines used in the newspaper. This book offers the opportunity to read the facts, ideas, and opinions of two scholars of Colorado politics all in one place for the calendar year 2019. The actual published versions of these articles can be found on the Denver Post or the Colorado Springs Gazette websites. Except for the headlines, most of the articles were published exactly the way that Cronin and Loevy wrote them.

  • Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 by Eric Swab
    Fred Barr 1882 - 1940 By Eric Swab I have always considered Fred Barr the benevolent benefactor of Pikes Peak hikers. He is credited with single handedly building the famous trail from Manitou Springs to the summit of Pikes Peak that bares his name. It is clear that he loved the mountains; however, his motivation for building trails was a combination of that admiration and his entrepreneurial spirit. Fred was born in Arkansas in June of 1882 to William M. and Mary Wade Barr, the eldest of 6 children. All of his siblings were girls.1 He came to Colorado with his family in 18932 when he was 11 years old. By 1900 we find Fred living with his family in Colorado City (now the Westside of Colorado Springs).3 Fred’s maternal grandfather Joel H. Wade had settled at the foot of Cheyenne Mountain on the Cripple Creek stage road in 1885. The Cripple Creek stage stopped at Wade’s place during the mining camp’s boom days.4 It is said that young Fred liked to hitch rides on those stage coaches headed into the mountains.5 These experiences must have been quite a thrill for a Kansas boy, and undoubtedly contributed to Fred’s appreciation of Pikes Peak.
