註釋

Between 1860 and 1900 Denver grew from a town of less than 5,000 population to a regional center with over 130,000 residents. Although principally populated by native Americans, the city also had a sizeable foreign-born contingent comprising nearly twenty-five percent of the total population from 1870 to 1890. German, Irish, British, Scandinavians and Canadians accounted for over one half of the foreigners; there were also numerous Chinese and Italians. Small coteries of investors and mining experts, most of them British-born, located in Denver where they formed a distinctive subculture. Most of the city's foreign-born, however, were engaged in more mundane pursuits.
