Excerpt from Semi-Centennial History of the State of Colorado, Vol. 2 General william J. Palmer. (editorial Note.) Many men of strong minds, firm wills, gallant hearts and broad souls have been given to the building of the great West, but few have so finely combined the traits of hardihood and tenderness in the fashioning of the ideal gentleman and citizen as the late General William J. Palmer, who drew the last breath of his great, yet unassuming life, at beautiful Glen Eyrie, near Colorado Springs, on the 13th of March, 1909. After serving his country with fidelity, bravery and ability, and laying the foundation of the great rail way systems of Colorado which now furnish the outlets for its riches and people to the waiting sections of the West and South, he became the planter and husbandman of beautiful communities among the mountains. There in his homelike castle he lived for years, with mind active and clear, the soul of generosity, public spirit and broad comradeship. With physical strength gradually weakening, to the last he retained his hopeful spirit and, when but a wreck in body, his eye was still bright with the calm bravery of the typical soldier. The editor is thankful, beyond words, that the fine, dear old general was spared to verify the facts and express his ap preciation of the following review of his life - undoubtedly the last which has been thus honored. For this reason the text is retained as it was sub mitted to him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of Colorado, Vol. 2 Among the men whose careers reflect honor and credit upon the state that has honored them, none has risen to a position of higher distinction or left more indelibly his impress upon the history of the nation than did Senator Henry M. Teller. His ability to thoroughly grasp every point in all the great problems of the country, to look at any question from the broad standpoint of future needs as well as present opportunities, made him the peer of the ablest statesmen of America. Removing to the west with its boundless opportunities, he became one of the builders of the great western empire and the recognition of the important part which he was playing made him not only a leader of public thought and action in Colorado but in the nation as well.
