C. Grable is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the history of Colorado, weaving together tales of early explorers, pioneers, and significant events that have shaped the state. Grable's narrative seeks to illustrate the vibrant stories behind Colorado’s past, emphasizing human experiences and historical figures who contributed to its development. The opening of the book sets the stage for a rich exploration of early American history, beginning with the fallout following the death of Queen Isabella and Christopher Columbus. It vividly portrays the complexities of the early Spanish conquests, particularly through the eyes of Hernando Cortez and his subsequent efforts to dominate new lands. The narrative covers the hopes and dreams of these early explorers while hinting at the struggles and tragedies faced by the indigenous populations. From Columbus to the early encounters with Native American tribes, the opening portion establishes the groundwork for understanding the broader tapestry of Colorado's history and its connection to the newly discovered territories of North America.
