How presumptuous you say, their state of Colorado?
As of 1998, Colorado has a population of more than 3,822,676 residents, so how can a person claim the state?
I don't really claim the state as mine, just the wonderful
state of mind and pioneer spirit of those living there. I have property in the southern part of the state, and two of my children have also purchased property, so we now have five generations of Colorado residents in our family - soon to be six.
My family first arrived by ox cart in June of 1860, from Lawrence, Kansas. Thomas S. Wells and his younger brother, Joseph H. Wells were looking to make their fortune along with many thousands of others after gold was discovered in the Rocky Mountains. Did they? That will be part of the story.
These pages will be the story the state, some history, something about my family, and a little of this and a little of that, in prose and picture. I will be adding to the pages as time allows and hope you will return and enjoy them often.
Finally the story will continue. It has been longer than the expected few months to cointinue the tale of the Wells family and the state of Colorado. But it will be told!
