Edgar A. Burton papers, 1883-1920 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/13239284

This collection comprises mostly articles transcribed by Edgar A. Burton from the Rocky Mountain News. Most articles relate to labor issues, and the life and sermons of Congregational minister Myron W. Reed. Burton painstakingly noted articles about Reed from his arrival in Denver in 1883 until his death in 1899. Burton also created subject indexes to the Rocky Mountain News on topics including art, biography, crime, labor, politics, schools, and women's suffrage. Burton's unfinished manuscript about Myron Reed's life comprises a portion of the papers.
