Colorado History: The 120th birthday of General Maurice Rose

This week in Colorado History, General Maurice Rose of Denver would have turned 120 years old. He was born on November 26, 1899.

DENVER — 120 years ago this week, Maurice Rose was born.

He wasn't born a general but history would remember him as such. The week of what would have been his 120th birthday, 9NEWS met with his biographer, Marshall Fogel. Fogel explained the allegory of General Rose's portrait which now hangs in Rose Medical Center.

Earlier this month, 9NEWS spoke with Fogel about his biography on General Rose. It took Fogel six years to complete. You can read more about both men's stories here:
