TRAIN OF THOUGHT

BOB'S PICK
OF THE WEEK

Teller book.jpg

     This is the title page of Duane Smith's biography of Henry M. Teller. The edition I picked up from our local library just had a plain brown cover.

     The book is a decent starting point to learn about Teller. Smith does a good job of presenting the basic details of Teller's life in Colorado, with his beginning as a young attorney and mine entrepreneur, then developing into an important politician.

     And, although he mentions several of Teller's interactions with Indians, especially as Secretary of the Interior, he doesn't go into detail about how devastating some of Teller's actions were, most notably the Code of Indian Offenses. For more on that, you'll have to look at some of the other sources I've listed at the bottom of my featured columns.

ABOUT ME

Lodore overlook 1 copy.jpg

I retired as editorial page editor of The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colorado in 2014. Since then, I've continued to write a twice-a-month history column for the Sentinel, while seizing every opportunity I can, with my wife Judy or my horses, to enjoy the beautiful outdoors of the Colorado Plateau.
