Finding Colorado

We discovered a new place today that we are going to call Colorado. The name Colorado came around because the land was red and colorado stnads for red. The territory was claimed by spain in 1706.

We have claimed the eastern plains of colorado in the lousiana purchase in 1803. This land is to be explored and mapped. We sent men to explore the territtory but have got word that they were captured by the spanish.

We are getting excepted into the united states union on August 1, 1876. The territory is being established mostly by the pikes peak gold rush. There are many people settling here and is getting very popular.

Gold is very popular in colorado, there are many gold miners coming to this territory to establish. There has been alot of gold discovered. Now many hunters and trappers are interested in the animals here.
