Book Synopsis Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain by : Jack Denton
Download or read book Pikes Peak, America’s Mountain written by Jack Denton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been an extremely fulfilling experience of six years to set up my easel and work on location to interpret the grandeur of Pikes Peak. In 2015, three years into this painting series, I became resolved to complete one hundred canvases of America’s Mountain and document it with a book. And now in 2018, after many seasons in the making and fifty years as a landscape painter, I can truly know that this visual journey has been an artistic project of a lifetime—a come to the mountain experience! My essential epiphany from this epic endeavor is that Pikes Peak, although an enormous historic granite mountain located in semi-arid region of Colorado, quite often resembles an oceanic rugged coastline due to dynamic atmospherics—a marvelous irony because the peak was thrust upward eons ago from the ocean floor. Pikes Peak’s massive size and beauty in all seasons is pure joy for my artist soul. I invite you to see America’s Mountain through my eyes!

Book Synopsis Early Ascents on Pikes Peak by : Woody Smith
Download or read book Early Ascents on Pikes Peak written by Woody Smith and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An intriguing, firsthand look at what it was like to ascend the storied Colorado mountain and experience its allure in the early days of the Old West. Magnificent Pikes Peak rises dramatically from the Colorado prairie to a height of 14,114 feet above sea level. Visible for one hundred miles around, the granite giant’s magnetic appeal compelled rugged mountaineers more than a century ago to risk loose saddles, electrical storms and even murder on treacherous expeditions to the summit. First known as Long Mountain by the Indigenous peoples who sojourned at its hot springs, Pikes Peak was a full-fledged tourist destination by the 1870s. Eager men and women ventured up and down by foot, horse, burro, stagecoach, rail and bicycle. Colorado Mountain Club historian Woody Smith captures the news of the era to recount the thrill of pioneer days on America’s most famous mountain.

Book Synopsis American Indians of the Pikes Peak Region by : Celinda Reynolds Kaelin
Download or read book American Indians of the Pikes Peak Region written by Celinda Reynolds Kaelin and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of years before Zebulon Pike's name became attached to this famous mountain, Pikes Peak was home to indigenous people. These First Nations left no written record of their sojourn here, but what they did leave were stone circles, carefully crafted arrowheads and stone tools, enigmatic petroglyphs, and culturally scarred trees. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers documented their locations, language, and numbers. In the 1800s, mountain men and official explorers such as Pike, Fremont, and Long also wrote about these First Nations. Comanche, Apache, Arapaho, Cheyenne, Kiowa, and Lakota made incursions into the region. These nations contested Ute land possession, harvested the abundant wildlife, and paid homage to the powerful spirits at Garden of the Gods and Manitou Springs. Today Ute Indians return to Garden of the Gods and to Pikes Peak each year to perform their sacred Sundance Ceremony.

Book Synopsis The Granite Attraction Stories of the Pikes Peak Highway and Summit by : Eric Swab
Download or read book The Granite Attraction Stories of the Pikes Peak Highway and Summit written by Eric Swab and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book begins in 1888, with the first efforts to get wheeled vehicles and their passengers to the summit of Pikes Peak. 15 years earlier, the U. S. Army established a weather station at the top of the mountain and manned it all year round with human observers. These two activities have resulted in the mountain being an attraction for visitors, innkeepers, skiers, hunters, and fishermen. Individuals and corporations have been motivated by the challenge of the highway to get their horseless carriages, automobiles, race cars, motorcycles, bicycles, basketballs, wheelbarrows, peanuts, and pianos to the top of the mountain. People have attempted to get rich by selling a piece of the mountain. The summit has been the site of experiments in meteorology, aircraft engine design, and human physiology. It has been the host of numerous proposals for sheltering those visitors and residents. Over the years five structures have been built for this purpose. There have been several struggles for control including an attempt to homestead the summit. It has been the source of tall tales, stories of hardship, and of failure. The book includes 13 maps and is illustrated with 123 images, most of them vintage photographs, many that have never been published before.
