The history of energy has so far been painted on a large canvas: Fossil fuels were essential to industrialization and have figured prominently in international politics, war, and diplomacy. Having depicted the great sweep of the petroleum and coal industries, historians are just beginning to fill in details, reconstructing the local and regional histories of extraction and consumption. Lee Scamehorn, professor emeritus of history at the University of Colorado and author of two books on the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, gives us a closer view by tracing fossil fuel development in Colorado from the mid-nineteenth century to the present
