Today, history and relics from those early glory years can be found all over the region, if you know where to look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eForgotten Colorado: The Eastern Plains\u003c\/i\u003e brings to light and exposes historic schools where class is out forever; the largest track of dinosaur footprints in North America; the site of one of the worst air show disasters in U.S. history; an entire railroad ghost town, complete with an underground shelter; the location of a brutal U.S. Army conflict that required eating horses for survival; a place where carnival rides go to rust in Colorado when they are retired from service; a deserted town originally established as an African American agricultural colony; and much, much, more.
