On Sunday July 30, 2023 HEART of Saguache hosted a presentation by Virginia Sanchez at the Saguache County Museum, with the support of a Saguache County Sales Tax Grant. Sanchez talked about Pleas and Petitions, her book on the representation of Southern Colorado during the Territorial Period. Many thanks to the Saguache County Museum for the venue to discuss this history - and thank you to Virginia for her donation of Pleas and Petitions to the Saguache Public Library.
