Witness at Sand Creek: The Life and Letters of Silas Soule
A review of Nancy Niero's 2025 book. Editor's note: This review comes to you from the Colorado Book Review. More reviews can be found at the Denver Public Library. Students of Colorado’s Civil War history and of the infamous Sand Creek Massacre will recognize the name of Silas Soule as the 1st Colorado Volunteer Cavalry officer who protested the action, refused to let his men fire during the fighting, testified against it in damning terms, and was murdered shortly afterward in Denver. Reverend Doctor Nancy Niero, a United Church of Christ pastor and hospice chaplain, has been drawn to Soule’s story since she first heard of it at History Colorado 30 years ago. She is among the organizers of the annual Spiritual Healing Run from the Sand Creek Massacre to Soule’s grave at Riverside Cemetery. For this book, Niero assembled 25 of Soule’s letters from the National Archives, History Colorado, Denver Public Library, Library of Congress, and his descendants.

Fun At the Denver Art Museum: Stay Like a DIVA
Not since the Yves St. Laurent show at the Denver Art Museum (DAM) have I had so much fun in an art museum. I like clothes. You’d never know it, as I wear t-shirts and jeans on most days, and ratty shoes. However, as a young girl I filled sketch books with drawings of dresses (many of them worthy of the Met Gala, or so I thought). Of course, music has always played a huge part in my life.

Life Still Feels Good In This Underrated Colorado Town Where Rent Stays Under $800
There’s a town in southeastern Colorado where the traffic light changes and nobody honks, and that alone should tell you everything. La Junta sits along the Arkansas River, carrying the weight of the old Santa Fe Trail with the kind of quiet dignity that most places spend millions trying to fake.
