He Brought Culture to the Frontier

By Agnes M. Pharo

Denver’s educational system

MEMORABILIA

IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING

FACTUAL REPRESENTATION

NOT RETREAD HISTORY

Folks, Professor Goldrick changed the lives and future of many Denverites beginning in 1859. He was a highly educated professor with a deep passion for children and teaching. Bringing the Denver Frontier from 0 to 217 schools was a expinetial achievement later reported by Goldrick's friend and pier by stating "The creation of a system of schools on so large a scale of such exceptional merits and in so brief a space of time is a phenomenon to which the history of education affords no parrallel." This is a brief tale of his huge impact of the educational system of Colorado and the love he brought therein.

Here is the rest of the story entitled

He Brought Culture to the Frontier

There were many a western story published – the common ones about Cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones about the. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out because really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.

Here’s one of ‘em.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.

This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.

Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.

I hope you appreciate the effort.
