Mrs. Green’s Account of Frontier Life in Colorado, 1887, did not surprise me how she felt about Colorado’s Great American Desert. It really is not a desert but a prairie. To a person who lived all their life in a wooded area, the prairie would look like a desert. Colorado’s prairies can actually be rather beautiful at certain times of the year. Many different kinds of wildlife inhabit the prairie especially back in the 1880s. It was too bad that Mrs. Green was too homesick and depressed to marvel at the different land that she now had a chance to experience. Though I do understand her feelings because that is how I felt when I moved from Colorado to Virginia. ---Cheryl | Mrs. Green’s Account of Frontier Life in Colorado, 1887, did not surprise me how she felt about Colorado’s Great American Desert.
