Jose Francisco Torres was born and raised "up the river" above Trinidad, Colorado and his life spanned from the cowboy days of the late 1800s to the technological era of the late 1900s.

Early on, he conceived the notion that this was wrong, that he and his people deserved better and, as a child, he felt prompted to do something about it. The question became what and how? Discrimination was everywhere and he had neither money nor support...

Many knew him by the broad gestures with which he challenged bureaucracies and the federal government itself. He was, legally speaking, a friend to the underdog. Yet at his death scarcely a friend was left and he had become the object of ridicule, outrage, pity, and contempt.
Ritter was clearly ahead of his time, for his opinions on criminal... Willis William Ritter, United States District Judge for the District of Utah from 1949 until his death on March 4, 1978, was the one judge whose name ...
