The book explores Colorado's diverse houses of worship, highlighting their resilience and historical significance. It recounts the establishment of the state's oldest church, Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the formation of Zion Baptist, the first black congregation. Key events, such as Kit Carson's death in a Fort Lyon chapel and the founding of Creede's first church through Soapy Smith's dubious fundraising, are detailed. Historian Linda Wommack delves into the rich heritage and intriguing stories surrounding these sacred spaces in the Mile High State.
