The Denver Post
Back in the Gold Rush era when Denver was little more than a mining camp, theatres outnumbered schools, trains replaced the pony express, and sensational headlines sold the most papers.
When business partners Harry Tammen and Frederick Bonfils bought the fledgling Denver Post, their brand of yellow journalism incited violent reactions leading the men to be horsewhipped and shot. But little could stand in the way of their success.
Ultimately, The Denver Post became the state’s leading newspaper and one of the largest papers in the nation.
