Book Description
Paleo-Indians hunted Ice Age mammoths and ancestral bison in what is now Roxborough, Colorado. In 1820, Stephen A. Long's expedition traveled west across the plains into America's western frontier and camped along the South Platte River where water rushed into the Platte Valley from Rocky Mountain peaks. They discovered an area described by their geologist as "a range of naked and almost perpendicular rocks . . . resembling a vast wall, parallel to the base of the mountain . . . the whole scenery truly picturesque and romantic." During the next 200 years, Roxborough has been home to Native Americans, mountain men, homesteaders, farmers, miners, dam builders, ranchers, railroad men, cowboys, and rocket scientists. Families live in sight of hogback formations, soaring red rocks, foothills, and mountains. Thousands arrive each year to hike trails in Roxborough State Park, Waterton Canyon, Colorado Trail, and Highline Canal. Roxborough's history, geologic wonders, and wilderness is a story of those whose eyes reached toward the stars.

Book Description
Eleven tracts of land established by William Penn in 1682 gave Roxborough its start as an important and vibrant neighborhood in Philadelphia. Early pioneers like Levering, Rittenhouse, and many others still shape the fabric of the current neighborhood. In 1854, the community was incorporated into Philadelphia with the Acts of Consolidation, yet it retains a small-town persona. With the Schuylkill River and Fairmount Park as boundaries, it is no wonder people have been making Roxborough, also known as the 21st Ward, their home for centuries. Nestled on the Ridge, the highest point of Philadelphia, Ridge Avenue twists and turns throughout the community as its main artery. With the recent gentrification of Ridge Avenue, Roxborough takes pride in preserving its rich history for future generations.
