Handicapped is an adjective used to refer to a person or animal who is partially disabled or unable to use a limb or limbs. The use of this term is sometimes considered offensive, though it is preferable to the derogatory term "cripple". (Note, however, that the term "cripple" is used specifically to refer to a horse unable to race). See disabled for a fuller explanation of the difference between an impairment, a disability and being handicapped.
This first Cripple Creek excitement began and ended somewhat after the style of a certain historic military incident, in which it is related that the great commander marched his army up the hill and then marched down again.
Cripple Creek proper is a large city for its age.
Cripple Creek, the greatest gold camp in the entire world to-day, is situated but eighteen miles south of Florissant, and, in fact, was brought to the notice of the public through the efforts of some of the enterprising citizens of the latter town.
