Bancroft, Caroline. Denver's Lively Past, 1952

 File — Box: 1, Folder: 3
Identifier: Series 1

Scope and Contents

From the Series:

The materials in this series relate to the book Fisk was completing at the end of his life, The Metro Denver Water Story: A Memoir. He compiled photocopies of articles, book chapters, and news clippings and organized them into binders by subject; that arrangement was retained. Subjects relate to the history of Denver and its water, including focus on the South Platte River and the Two Forks project. Beyond Denver, subjects relate to metro area towns of Aurora, Thornton, and other suburbs, as well as to broader topics of sprawl, drought, water rights and policy, and the Colorado River. Fisk's drafts are found at the end of his research notes, and annotated books follow those materials. Note that the dates relate to the original creation date of the materials, which are mostly photocopies made in the 1990s or later.

In 2007, the family brought the book to completion and self-published it. The final draft and the published version are at the end of this series, along with CDs of the Word and PDF versions.
