What is John Gregory country : place names and history of Ralston Buttes quadrangle : Jefferson County, Colorado about?

Winner of the American Regional History Award (ARHPA), Western States Category. Winner of the Colorado Independent Publishers Award In 1859, deep in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, John Hamilton Gregory washed four dollars worth of gold from a pan of dirt and turned Denver into a ghost town. Thousands followed in his footsteps--prospectors, road builders, shopkeepers, farmers schoolteachers, railroad men, dreamers all, pouring up Gregory's trace like water rushing through a dike. This is their book, what they saw and what they named, from Coal Creek to Clear Creek, from Black Hawk eastward to the prairies. It belongs also to the dead men whose names never crossed the printed page--miners on the Spanish Bar, Indians who laid out the tepee rings, ancient peoples who welcomed the morning sun in their caves.
