The gold rush in Colorado etc.

 Last Saturday I showed quite a few stage coaches, and mentioned that one line was to Cripple Creek., CO.  There may be a few duplications, because I'm posting every photo that talks about Cripple Creek from the site: Western Mining History DOT com.

Cripple Creek is known for having gold mining proscpected in the 1890s.
