The Story of Manitou is a historical account of the Manitou Springs in Colorado, USA, written by Shadrick K. Hooper and published in 1890. The book provides a detailed description of the geological formation of the area, the Native American tribes that inhabited the region, and the arrival of European settlers in the 1800s. Hooper describes the natural springs in Manitou and their perceived healing properties, which attracted people from all over the world to visit the area for health and leisure purposes. He also delves into the development of the town and its growth as a tourist destination, with the construction of hotels, spas, and other amenities. The book also includes anecdotes and stories about the people who lived in Manitou, including the famous explorer Zebulon Pike and the founder of the town, Dr. William A. Bell. Hooper paints a vivid picture of life in Manitou during this time period, with its unique blend of Native American, Hispanic, and Anglo cultures. Overall, The Story of Manitou is a fascinating historical account of a small but significant town in the American West, and provides valuable insights into the cultural and social history of the region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
