Colorado businesses today include many high tech industries. It should not be a surprise that cutting edge technology is not new to our state or our time. The needs of the folks immigrating to Colorado during the nineteenth century brought new ideas and solutions to the many problems they encountered. “Necessity is the mother of invention” is a saying attributed to Plato but Coloradoans took the saying to heart and invented a variety of devices and processes to help them survive and prosper during the nineteenth century. There were patents for all kinds of devices, railroad, mining, bicycles, agricultural equipment, inventions by women inventors, medical, and others. This book is about those inventions and their inventors.
