Summary: "Prairie, Peak, and Plateau: A Guide to the Geology of Colorado" by John and Halka Chronic is a scientific publication written in the early 1970s. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding Colorado's distinct geological features and how these relate to human activities throughout the state's history. It explores the natural landscape, from the plains to the peaks and plateaus, while emphasizing the rich mineral resources and geological history. At the start of the guide, the authors set the stage by discussing the historical context of mining in Colorado, notably the gold rush of 1858, which attracted many fortune seekers to the area. The introduction also acknowledges the Indigenous peoples who utilized the land's natural resources long before miners arrived. The early chapters outline the state's three main geological provinces—prairies, mountains, and plateaus—laying the groundwork for an analysis of their respective features. The authors also introduce readers to key geological concepts and terminology that will be foundational for understanding the detailed discussions that follow about the geology and human interaction with the diverse landscapes of Colorado.
