Text Box: The Latest from PPLD! “Who was William Jackson Palmer, besides being the founder of Colorado Springs? More complex questions come about when reconciling Palmer as a Union army soldier and spy with his Quaker upbringing; reconciling the massive manpower required to build Palmer’s western railroad and mining empires with his reputation as man of benevolence; his intercontinental romance with his wife Mary Lincoln Mellen “Queen” Palmer. This book, contains the keys to the many doors in Palmer’s own castle-his personal life. However, there still are rooms, private and concealed, which no one can ever enter. This “unauthorized biography” of a truly remarkable and modest man will open every reader’s eyes to a new view of William Jackson Palmer. There is no scandal, or deception. In these pages you will not only find integrity, leadership, and compassion, but you will also witness Palmer’s tenacious conviction, strength, and shrewdness- just how one imagines a true “founding father.”                  

 

 

                                                                        

Text Box: The first modern revision of Charles Fox Gardiner’s popular historical account of early Colorado medicine. Includes a new biography of Gardiner by historian Chris Nicholl, and new illustrations . Veterinarian, dentist, spiritual adviser- the frontier doctor was all of these. Traveling paths newly hewn into the early Colorado mountain wilds, Dr. Gardiner found himself facing many a strange medical situation, many an odd duty. To face pioneer life one had to be rough and ready; moreover, endowed with a sense of humor. Dr. Gardiner was abundantly blessed with these points of character. Doctor at Timberline is as much the story of isolated Rocky Mountain patients as it is the chronicle of a doctor whose intrepid frontier practice brought him exciting human experience. The early days of Colorado are brought into fresh and vivid reality by these reminiscences of a doctor who observed them with zestful understanding.
