About this listen
From gold rush boomtown to global gateway, A Brief History of Denver traces the Mile High City’s dramatic evolution across fifteen vivid chapters. With cinematic prose and meticulous research, Derek Monaghan brings to life the people, places, and pivotal moments that shaped Denver’s identity—from its Indigenous roots and frontier rivalries to civil rights movements, urban reinvention, and 21st-century resilience.
Explore how Denver weathered silver crashes, dust storms, and economic collapse—only to rise again through innovation, activism, and community spirit. Walk the streets of Five Points during the jazz era, witness the rebirth of Union Station, and feel the pulse of protest and possibility in the city’s modern era.
Whether you're a lifelong resident, a curious traveler, or a lover of American history, this immersive narrative offers a sweeping yet intimate portrait of a city that has always stood one mile high—and rising.
