Actually, the greatest booster of the big city, William N. Byers, is the namesake of this small town. He came this way during the Cherry Creek gold-rush settlements, wrote guidebooks, published the city’s first newspaper, The Rocky Mountain News. He built up the city as the pre-ordained metropolis of the Rockies (even imagining river traffic on the shallow South Platte), promoted agriculture, offered free seeds, publicized agricultural experiments and championed irrigated farming as the way to make the Great American Desert bloom. In his newspaper, he pointedly challenged criminals, outlaws and institutions that he believed were responsible for the lawless nature of the frontier. And he was actually kidnapped at gunpoint from his office for his writing.
Well, no frontier is without it’s exciting stories. And this frontier town is awaiting your story and hoping to bid you a warm, “Howdy!” very soon.
