Excerpt from Denver by Pen and Picture
Upon what meat doth this our Denver feed That she is grown so great?' A stranger arriving in Denver at the end of a railroad journey of 600 miles over the plains from the Missouri River, as he realizes the size of the city, usually involuntarily asks himself - What justifies the existence of Denver? Is it not already too large Can it be possible that the city will continue to grow?
Thorough investigation, however, demonstrates that Denver is the natural and inevitable outcome or product of the development of Colorado and the surrounding States and Territories. So far from being too large, it will continue to grow proportionately to the development of the surrounding country.
