| Publisher Description: First it was Coronado in 1540; then came Vilasur, Bourgmont, Pike and Fremont. Among all of these, explorers found the Smoky Hill valley to be among the richest buffalo pastures on the continent. When gold was found in Cherry Creek the miners soon learned that Smoky Hill River and the trails that ran along it provided the shortest path to Denver. |
