Costigan of Colorado

Raine, William MacLeod | October 29, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the Edward P. Costigan, who came to Denver from Harvard nearly three decades ago. He was always ready to break a lance for a worthy forlorn hope. He had a passion for justice. He learned soon enough that the issue of the battle was not simple, that lies have a tremendous vitality. But he was not daunted and he has continued to challenge false standards for thirty years. Today he is as completely dedicated to public service as he was in those years of enthusiastic youth. Yet Costigan's vision has always been a practical one. He has a sure instinct for what is possible and what is not.
