    1. [COMESA] History Book ?
    2. Jennifer Bessire
    3. Hi! Has anyone ever heard anything about the below mentioned book? Availability? Cost? Is it as good as it sounds? Thank-you! Jennifer Bessire Harvey The Stirring Story of a Western Community ---MESA COUNTY, COLORADO--- Its Pioneer Days and Its Wonderful Development - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A rare little booklet which was published by the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel newspaper in 1915. It is a delightful genealogy treasure to be sure! Many pioneer residents are mentioned and in some cases the book goes into greater detail. It contains 73 pages, 11 black & white photographs and various tables, etc. No index but it only takes a couple of hours to read. Written by the people who lived through the establishment of this Western Slope community, it is very accurate and not the typical county history of the period which were laden with "subscribed upstanding citizen testimonials" but rather an accurate account of Mesa County's early days. CONTENTS: * Introductory * THRILLING STORY OF THE EARLY DAYS * List of 1882 Electors * Items of Interest * Grand River * The Grand Valley * HISTORY OF THE PLATEAU VALLEY * The Unaweep * The Whitewater Valley * The Orchard Mesa * Blue Stone and Cactus Valley * Roan Creek Valley * HISTORY OF FRUITA * Bronk Park * HISTORY OF THE TOWN COMPANY (written in 1886) * Early Town Officers * Grand Junction Business Directory for 1886 * Pioneer Fraternal and Religious Organizations (written in 1886) * Important Enterprises of the Early Days (written in 1886) * The D&RG Machine Shops at Grand Junction (written in 1886) * The Grand River Ditch Co. (written in 1886) * A Pioneer's Statement * School Day Reminiscences * What Mesa County Has * What Famous Men Have Said of Us * City Officials 1915 * County Officials 1915 * Climate of the Grand Valley * The Land I Love (a poem) * Mesa County as it is Today * An Exile from His Beloved Valley * To the Modern Wisemen of the East * Here are Figures Showing Mesa County's Prosperity * The SENTINEL, The Pioneer Daily * Some Facts Worth Knowing

Since most of us are researching our grandparents and beyond, I thought it might strike a cord in many of us. I don't mean to start discussion of it. I just wanted to share it. << Thought you'd like this one. ..it's something to have old folks 'around', or even to HAVE old folks. A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered. The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather's shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became irritated with the mess. "We must do something about Grandfather," said the son. "I've had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor." So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. When the family glanced in Grandfather's direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The four-year-old watched it all in silence. One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor. he asked the child sweetly, "What are you making?" Just as sweetly, the boy responded, "Oh, I am making a little bowl for Papa and Mama to eat their food in when I grow up." The four-year-old smiled and went back to work. The words so struck the parents that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done. That evening the husband took Grandfather's hand and gently led him back to the family table. For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled. Children are remarkably perceptive. Their eyes ever observe, their ears ever listen, and their minds ever process the messages they absorb. If they see us patiently provide a happy home atmosphere for family members, they will imitate that attitude for the rest of their lives.
