DDH - A Mile High
from The Dave Bowman Show
Denver wasn’t always the Mile High City. In this episode, we journey back to November 17, 1858, to explore how a rough-and-tumble patch of land at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River became the beating heart of Colorado. Discover the determination of General William Larimer Jr., the gold rush fever that drove settlers westward, and the fierce rivalry with Auraria that shaped the city’s early days. We’ll also reflect on Denver’s legacy as a hub of resilience and ambition—and why it still holds a special place for those of us who’ve called it home. Join us as we uncover the fascinating story of a city built on grit and dreams!
