This website has been the work of myself, Sara L. Brooks with the input and cooperation of many people and resources. I hope that it becomes a useful resource for teachers and students. This will be a continuing work in progress.
These credits show why you can trust the information that you learn here.

I am an elementary school teacher and have had to do a lot of research to create this website. Even after living in Greeley for over 30 years, there was a lot I didn't know. I read a lot of books, read newspaper stories, talked to the museum experts, took classes and visited lots of places. It has been a fun learning experience.

Thanks, Tiffany, for getting me started!
