Book Description:
Jewish Denver: 1859-1940
In 1859, during the Pike’s
Peak gold rush, at least 12 Jews joined the
great migration to Colorado in search of gold
and a brighter future. The unpredictability of
mining and a growing demand for supplies
encouraged many of these Jewish settlers to
establish small businesses in Denver and in
towns and mining camps across the state. By the
early 1870s, Jewish benevolent societies and a
congregation were established. Denver’s dry,
mild climate attracted patients with
tuberculosis, and two Jewish sanatoriums were
opened in the city around the beginning of the
20th century. Many of the predominantly Eastern
European Jews who came in search of better
health made Denver their home, thus augmenting
the early Jewish population significantly. Today
Jewish life flourishes in Colorado, and Jewish
citizens continue to play a vital role in its
culture and development.
