When researching for a new story it is always fun to look at what was happening during the time and location you're writing about. Here are some pieces of news that happened when my current work in progress occurred.

For example, here's the beginning of an article on the origins of Merino Sheep from the December 3, 1880 issue of the Pueblo Daily Chieftain

Here is a weather report from the Rocky Mountain News of December 3, 1880

And this from the Denver Tribune on December 3, 1880, about ranchers in the Fairplay area regarding the rounrd-up tax. 

Sometimes these older newspapers are a bit hard to read, but the information adds to the authenticity of conversations.  Personally, I enjoy reading about what happened back in the day.

Until Next Time Stay Safe & Stay Well
