Places like Colorado were populated by a number of mine workers due to the mineral in the ground. It is also where there were major labor movements/wars including the miners strike in the 1890's where labor won and in 1904/5 where they lost. (These were in Cripple Creek/Victor). Then of course there was Ludlow. So much history. Thanks for adding to the knowledge.
