A milestone for St. Paul's: Church marks 125th in 'Town To Tough To Die'

One hundred-and-twenty-five years ago, when the West was still wild with warring Apaches, hard-riding Buffalo Soldiers, and hard-working, hard-drinking miners and cowboys, a young seminarian from the East set foot in "The Town Too Tough To Die" to tame as much of it as he could. Endicott Peabody, later the founder of the famed Brooks and Groton schools in Massachusetts and heralded teacher of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, arrived to win as many as he could for his fledgling ministry ... toughs or not-so-toughs! With that humble first step, St. Paul's Episcopal Church was founded.
