Did your ancestor cross the plains in a wagon inscribed "Pike's Peak or Bust!" around 1858 when the Colorado gold rush began?

Or did your family seek the pure mountain air and join the "one-lunged army" of Americans suffering from consumptive (TB) diseases?

Perhaps your family sought the rich soil and promise of successful farming and ranching.

Do you have a "Colorful Colorado" ancestor who may have been a gambler, outlaw, or fancy lady?
