GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT

Cheney’s Chicago Saloon – one of Golden’s earliest saloons, located at 11th and Washington – enlarge


156 Years Ago
Transcript founder George liked the occasional drink; in fact, he wrote with enthusiasm about the saloons in town. For that reason, I enjoyed these prim remarks about how people in Denver celebrated Christmas.

Christmas, as you well know, is a gala day in Denver. You also know that notwithstanding the moral depravity of the place, its observance of the “outer rites” are noticeable in the extreme.

Our churches in the morning were duly crowded and the Lord’s services went forward with commendable zeal, yet it is my duty to record that the devil was served with equal zeal…there were not less than two thousand men drunk in Denver that night.

Colorado Transcript
January 9, 1867

Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
