Pioneer Songs & Stories of Colorado & The West - Julie Davis and Susan Kaplan
Stories about men, women, and children who came into Colorado and the West: the Indians, trappers, miners, children who rode the Orphan Train, famous ghosts, and more. Ranging from true stories to tall tales, the stories illustrate much about Colorado's early history. Susan and Julie are well-known and gifted storytellers who bring the stories alive in a way that lets you see into what life in the early West was like. (This field trip concert is especially appropriate for Colorado History units and is complimentary with the "Pioneer Music: Colorado & the West" concert in February.)
