Colorado Bullfighting

(by Brian K. Trembath 7-15-15 denverlibrary.org)

Colorado's brief, but notorious, relationship with bullfighting caused a tremendous stir back in 1895 and nearly caused a riot in the now defunct town of Gillett, Colorado (not Gillette, Wyoming).

Fortunately, a photographer was on hand to capture scenes from what was only the second proper Mexican bullfight in the United States.
