Russell Gulch, Colorado was settled at the site of gold discoveries made by a party led by Green Russell, a prospector and miner from Georgia.

A sight that would be all too familiar to Marines in the Pacific during World War II…A U.S. Marine on Guadalcanal plays taps during a service for the dead before leaving the island to the Army, 1942.
