Several years ago, during a visit to the Samuel Jackson, Sr. home in Manassa, Colorado, I had the privilege of receiving 22 historical documents. Most of these records pertain to Samuel Jackson, Sr. and his connection to the Eurydice Mining Company.

The documents primarily consist of correspondence between the mining company and Samuel. These letters provide fascinating insight into his role, instructing him to transport essential supplies such as lumber, flour, and other goods to the mine. Additionally, he was tasked with hauling ore from the mine to the La Jara train depot for shipment to Denver.

To preserve and share this valuable slice of history, I have transcribed the documents and compiled background information on the Eurydice Mining Company. If you come across any inaccuracies in my transcriptions or have suggestions for improvement, I would greatly appreciate your input. Collaboration can help us better understand and honor this remarkable story.
