**Grant has released a large, hardcover sequel to this book called "Colorado Then &amp; Now," which contains 200 new photographs. Search for this title on Amazon. When Joseph Collier left Scotland bound for Central City, Colorado in 1871, it was unclear whether the young immigrant would make much of a name for himself. However, through hard work and perseverance, Collier developed a reputation as one of the state's preeminent pioneer photographers. Now, over a century later, Grant Collier has literally followed in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather. Grant has traveled across Colorado taking photographs from precisely the same spots where Joseph Collier captured his images. These photographs are presented in the often-imitated but never duplicated "Colorado: Yesterday &amp; Today."

Two decades ago, Grant Collier embarked on a project that had him following, quite literally, in the footsteps of his great-great-grandfather, the pioneer photographer Joseph Collier. He traveled throughout Colorado taking photographs from the exact same spots where Joseph captured his images over a century before. In 2001, Grant released a book of these photographs entitled "Colorado Yesterday &amp; Today." "Colorado Then &amp; Now" is the sequel to this book, and it contains 200 new photographs. These images capture, in stunning detail, the changes that have occurred in Colorado over the past 145 years. They depict breathtaking landscapes, from the glacially-carved peaks of the San Juan Mountains to the remarkable rock formations along the Front Range. They show early stone structures and towering steel skyscrapers in Denver, boisterous mining camps in the Rockies, and wagon roads, railroads, and modern highways built through steep valleys and over rugged mountain passes. Accompanying these images are essays on six regions of Colorado, along with a biography on Joseph Collier. No expense was spared on the elegant cover, which measures 12.1" x 13.3". It contains gold foil stamping on the front and sides, and real black cloth wrapped around the spine.
