Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On November 16, 1886, four members of the Atlantis Town Company stopped on the Southeast Colorado plains to stake out and establish Boston, Colorado. Frontier newspaperman Sam Konkel joined the town company and promoted Boston as "The Utopian City of the Plains." Built to catch the railroad and become the county seat of a new Colorado county, Boston evolved into one of the wildest towns on the American frontier. The April 1889 siege of Boston was the end of the Colorado Boomtown era and the old west town that was as wild as they come.
