Born in 1860 in Macon County, North Carolina, he is perhaps best remembered for ordering National Guard troops into Ludlow, Colorado during the Ludlow Massacre. He was also instrumental in starting the National Western Stock Show, which is still active. His son Teller Ammons was also governor of Colorado. He died in Denver, Colorado in 1925 and was buried in Fairmount Cemetery in Denver. Early lifeHe was born in Macon County, North Carolina on a sheep farm to parents Jehu R. and Margaret Ammons.[1] His father was a baptist minister and his mother was descended from the Pennsylvania Dutch.[2] At age 26 (1886) he moved to Colorado and started in the cattle business.[3] His sister Theodosia Grace Ammons was on the faculty at Colorado State University, and president of the Colorado Equal Suffrage Association.[4] LegislativeHe served as a Republican member of the Colorado House of Representatives from Douglas County from 1890 to 1896, serving as speaker from 1894 to 1896, and then, after becoming a Democrat, served in the Colorado State Senate from 1898 to 1902.[5][6] Ammons publicly debated Gifford Pinchot, chief of the United States Department of Agriculture's Division of Forestry and head of the federal government's conservation movement, three times between 1901 and 1909.[7] GovernorshipAmmons was elected Governor of Colorado in November 1912 after running as a Democrat.[6] Ammons was elected on an anti-conservation platform and was against federal control of Colorado lands.[8] He believed strongly in the sovereignty of the states and worried that the federal government was encroaching on the political independence of Colorado. Further, he was concerned that federal land reservation would stunt Colorado's economic growth.[7] While Governor, Ammons was accused of favoring the mine owners in a strike at many coalmines in the state lasting from 1913-1914.[9] Ammons left office on January 12, 1915, and retired from public service.[6] Notes1. ^{{Cite book|title=Colorado Profiles: Men and Women Who Shaped the Centennial State|last=Monnett|first=J.
