Henry M. Teller was Colorado's longest serving United States senator, first Coloradan in the president's cabinet, and the transitional leader who took Colorado from its nineteenth-century traditions into its twentieth-century posture on water, the environment, politics, foreign relations, and the "new" economy. Teller was right for Colorado on the silver issue that dominated late nineteenth-century politics, but a member of the lost cause of William J. Bryan. In addition to these critical issues, Teller paid close attention to the mundane in political life. In Duane Smith's able hands, Teller comes to life with clarity of prose born of decades of writing and a depth of knowledge mined in countless archival collections. |
