Synopsis

Fort Lupton Colorado is a beautiful and friendly little farming community of approximately seven thousand five hundred people situated on US Highway 85 about twenty nine miles north of Denver It is situated in an area not quite designated as in the foothills yet not far enough east to say it s a plains town either just somewhere in between Summers are Rocky Mountain blue sky gorgeous with spring temperatures ranging from seventy five to over one hundred degrees in August and September Wintertime can deal out twenty four to thirty six inches of snow or as little as twelve inches There seems to be an area bordered on the west by Interstate 25 on the east by US 85 and on the south by Interstate 70 which is more arid year after year in more recent times Rainfall in summers seems to be minimal so many farmers irrigate their crops The Fort Lupton area receives more than three hundred days of sunshine every year I guess that the abundant sunshine is the main reason that I moved to Colorado in the first place

About this title

About the Author

I grew up on the Kankakee River in Kankakee, IL and spent most of my youth on the river, fishing, hunting, trapping and just having a good old time. After high school I joined the US Army and spent 9 years there ending up in Vietnam the last year. I retired at 62 years and moved to Colorado to see what I could do to preserve the image of the old west. That is how I met the South Platte Valley Historical Society, and this book was written in the memory of John T. Martin and his dream.
