E10 - Two Tribal Legends: Manitou Springs and The Statue (Maiden) Above Georgetown
from While Buffalo Roamed: The Wild West History of Colorado · host Jonathan Summer Publishing
Two forgotten Native American legends - The Legend of the Manitou Springs - The Legend of the Maiden (Georgetown, Colorado) - Comanche - Ute (Utah) Legends are fun and were an excellent way to pass on knowledge, particularly when the circumstances are other-worldly; unexplainable. The first tale explains the reason why the Shoshone and Comanche became separated and waged war on one another. The second legend gives an explanation for a figure, a female figure, who seems to stand watch over Georgetown, Colorado. The statue was observed daily in the frontier days, now, it's very rare to find a person who can locate it on Republican Mountain - but you will be able to after this show! There is also a brief history of the Ute Nation and directions to find the mysterious maiden. Old West!
