This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the efforts of Angelo Noce, an Italian immigrant living in Colorado, to establish Columbus Day as a legal holiday in the state. Noce had long been passionate about honoring the Italian explorer who discovered America, and he worked tirelessly for over 30 years to make his dream a reality. The book provides a detailed account of Noce's journey, from his initial proposal to the Colorado legislature in 1890 to the eventual passage of the bill in 1907. Along the way, Noce faced opposition and setbacks but never gave up on his goal. He also had the support of many prominent figures, including Governor Jesse F. McDonald, who signed the proclamation making Columbus Day a legal holiday in Colorado. This book is not only a fascinating look at the history of Columbus Day but also a testament to the power of determination and perseverance. Noce's story is an inspiration to anyone who has ever dared to dream big, no matter how difficult the challenges may seem. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
