About this title

Synopsis

Shamrock Ranch: Celebrating Life in Colorado's Pikes Peak Country is a scrapbook of everyday life in the West, from 1860 through today. The book is filled with facts and stories that played an integral part in the formation of the ranch and early El Paso County. Peppered among the writing are over 400 scenic and historical photographs, letters, maps, land plats, and newspaper articles. Shamrock Ranch is the past and the present. It is mansions and manor houses, laborers and lumberjacks. Some tales are tragic, some are inspirational, but all are a part of the essence of Colorado.
