Excerpt from The Government of the People, of the State of Colorado In the preparation of this work, the aim has been, not to present a hand-book of condensed facts, but through interest and suggestion, to stimulate the desire for individual investigation. In accordance with this view, the school library should be provided with the Session Laws, issued by the Secretary of State, since 1887. In this connection a set of Mills' Annotated Statutes (3 vols.) and a set of Hall's History of Colorado (4 vols.) will prove valuable aids. The teacher and pupils should make a collection of primary, convention and election calls, official ballots, blanks used by various officers and the official reports of State and local officers. The pupil should be led to discover the principles of government by his own thought and labor. To assist and direct in this work numerous references have been given to the Constitution. In the study of government nothing can take the place of the Constitution. To use the "Studies" profitably, will require much conscientious preparation on the part of the teacher. The instructor should encourage intelligent observation of all those things with which the citizen has to do in every-day life. That knowledge of government is valueless which does not inspire the pupil, at the proper time, to the performance of civic duties; which does not lead him to realize that obedience to authority is the fundamental basis of patriotism. Criticisms, suggestions and questions that may occur to teachers who use this book will be received in the professional spirit. The author desires to express his obligations to Professor N. M. Fenneman, his colleague, at whose suggestion this book was undertaken, and to others who have kindly aided with advice and information. For the purpose of uniformity, the plan and portions of the text of this book are similar to those in other works of the series of which it is a part.

2019 Wrangler Award for Outstanding Juvenile Book Winner 2019 Spur Award - Western Writer's of America Finalist In 1910, after losing their farm in Iowa, the Martin family moves to Mingo, Colorado, to start anew. The US government offers 320 acres of land free to homesteaders. All they have to do is live on the land for five years and farm it. So twelve-year-old Belle Martin, along with her mother and six siblings, moves west to join her father. But while the land is free, farming is difficult and it's a hardscrabble life. Natural disasters such as storms and locusts threaten their success. And heartbreaking losses challenge their faith. Do the Martins have what it takes to not only survive but thrive in their new prairie life? Told through the eyes of a twelve-year-old girl, this new middle-grade novel from New York Times-bestselling author Sandra Dallas explores one family's homesteading efforts in 1900s Colorado.

Why do people fight about water rights? Who decides how much water can be used by a city or irrigator? Does the federal government get involved in state water issues? Why is water in Colorado so controversial? These questions, and others like them, are addressed in Colorado Water Law for Non-Lawyers. This concise and understandable treatment of the complex web of Colorado water laws is the first book of its kind. Legal issues related to water rights in Colorado first surfaced during the gold mining era in the 1800s and continue to be contentious today with the explosive population growth of the twenty-first century. Drawing on geography and history, the authors explore the flashpoints and water wars that have shaped Colorado’s present system of water allocation and management. They also address how this system, developed in the mid-1800s, is standing up to current tests—including the drought of the past decade and the competing interests for scarce water resources—and predict how it will stand up to new demands in the future. This book will appeal to at students, non-lawyers involved with water issues, and general readers interested in Colorado’s complex water rights law.
