"Happy days; carolings of Colorado, etc. by Samuel R. Brown is a collection of poetry and prose sketches written in the early 20th century. It is a regional, nature-centered book that celebrates Colorado’s landscapes and outdoor pastimes while offering homespun reflections on joy, morality, and everyday life. The pieces range from exuberant odes to “Colorado Skies,” wild-wood rambles, and lazy days “Angling in the Platte,” to lively town portraits of Denver, Littleton, Englewood, and Manitou. Hunting and fishing scenes (including a vivid antelope hunt) mingle exhilaration with flashes of remorse; playful love lyrics feature summer girls and a “motor‑cycle girl,” while addresses and elegies speak to sailors, Whitman, and a lost friend. Populist protests against “King Mammon” and social graft sit beside meditations on sorrow, immortality, and the choice to live merrily and kindly. The closing sketches recall the author’s pioneer boyhood, Indian neighbors, and the transformation of the Front Range, framing the whole as a sunny, conversational portrait of Colorado life and a tonic for the “sad-faced tourist.” (This is an automatically generated summary.)
