The book Life Of Governor Evans: Second Territorial Governor Of Colorado by Edgar Carlisle McMechen is a biographical account of John Evans, who served as the second territorial governor of Colorado in the United States. The book provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of Evans' life, from his early years in Pennsylvania to his career as a physician, businessman, and politician in Colorado. The author delves into Evans' personal life, including his marriage, family, and social connections, as well as his professional accomplishments and political career. McMechen explores Evans' role in the development of Colorado as a territory, including his efforts to attract settlers, establish law and order, and promote economic growth. The book also addresses some of the controversies surrounding Evans' tenure as governor, including his involvement in the Sand Creek Massacre, a tragic event in which hundreds of Native Americans were killed by U.S. soldiers. McMechen provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on Evans' actions, drawing on a range of primary sources to offer a detailed analysis of the events leading up to the massacre and its aftermath. Overall, Life Of Governor Evans is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds light on an important figure in Colorado's history. It will appeal to anyone interested in the history of the American West, the role of governors in territorial politics, or the complex relationship between settlers and Native Americans during the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
