I don't have that issue but you can try the Society ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~bgs/ ) or contact Carnegie Library ( http://www.rootsweb.com/~bgs/library.html ) in Boulder. During the Civil War many, if not all, regular Army units went East. To protect Colorado militia units were formed ; this is not completely accurate but I think of those units as the National Guard of the day. They were typically formed around a Captain or higher, so this is probably a Capt. Tyler. And the troops often came from the same town. There was a major battle early between other militia units and the Confederate Army, when the Confederates came up from New Mexico to try to take Denver and the gold fields. The militia won at the Battle of Glorietta Pass and it has been called the "Gettysburg of the West." (Don't know if Tyler's Rangers were there). Also these militia were used for Indian raids and battles. I googled and found this memoir written in 1913 by a man in Arizonia http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/az/pima/bios/atkinson.txt He had joined the Rangers in 1864 when he lived in Denver and said his unit participated in the Sand Creek Massacre. In that action many of the militia units were absorbed and reorganized into the 2nd and 3rd Colorado Calvary. Regards, David

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XY.2ADE/720.1 Message Board Post: Sally, You have asked a broad and difficult question. But I shall keep it in mind and as I find anything will let you know. While researching another project I ran across this - >From "Once a Coal Miner The Story of Colorado's Northern Coal Field" by Phyllis Smith,Pruett Publishing Company, Boulder, 1989 page 66 - "In the 1880s, four-fifths of the coal miners in Colorado spoke English. In the space of thirty years, the ratio of English-speaking to non-English-speaking miners gradually reversed. By 1910, 70 percent of Colorado's coal miners were foreign-born, spoke little English and had no previous experience in the mines. Now the state published its coal mining laws in Japanese, Italian, Polish, Hungarian, German, Croatian, Greek, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Russian, as well as English." Note that there isn't mention of Chinese or Swedish, etc. I know there was a large segment of Scandinavian miners in Louisville. But apparently Japanese represented a larger proportion, enough to warrent printing in their language. I'll keep you in mind, David
