In my library is a priceless book, “The Tread of Pioneers,” by Charles H. Leckenby, longtime publisher of the Steamboat Pilot. It gives a great snapshot of the settling of northwest Colorado and the differences between Ute.
Like his father’s father and his father before him, Charles J. Leckenby had newspaper ink running through his blood, but his wife, Barbara Leckenby, said “Chuck” should also be remembered for all the wonderful things.
