Storyline

This is the story of the evolution of the town Centennial, Colorado. It follows the paths of dozens of people who come to the area for many reasons: money, freedom, or crime. It also shows the bigoted treatment of the Native Indians by the advancing US colonists. It is topped off with a murder mystery that takes 100 years to solve. Written by Tony Berkoff <aberkoff@hq.caci.com>

Goofs

Factual errors: Bufe Coker and Laura homestead a small shack near the Rattlesnake Ciffs. They have only been there a few days and already have a few cornstalks that have grown above waist height. Corn would take at least 6 to 8 weeks to germinate and grow that tall. See more »
