Dozens of existing studies document the history of the reservation trading-post system.! However, the names ofthe Navajos, or Dine, who worked at posts seldom appear in this his­ toricalliterature.2 In the recent past, historians have labored to create more inclusive narratives, incorporating the stories of peoples who made crucial but unacknowledged contributions to western history.3 Kathy M'Closkey is currently Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University ofWindsor, Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

  • Papilio Series) 2006
    (NEW April 28 PAPILIO SERIES) 2006 TAXONOMIC STUDIES AND NEW TAXA OF NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES by James A. Scott (also editor), Michael S. Fisher, Norbert G. Kondla, Steve Kohler, Crispin S. Guppy, Stephen M. Spomer, and B. Chris Schmidt Abstract. New diversity is reported and discussed among North American butterflies. Several dozen new taxa are named. A new "sibling" species has been found to occur throughout the Rocky Mts., introducing a new butterfly species to most states in western U.S. and to southern Alberta and BC. Several taxa of Colias, Euphydryas, Lycaena, and Plebejus are raised to species status. Many nam.e changes are made, and many taxa are switched between species to create several dozen new combinations. The relevance of species concepts to difficult groups of butterflies is explored. Introduction This paper consists of miscellaneous taxonomic studies on North American butterflies, some in the northeast, but mostly in the west. Most of the diversity of butterfly fauna in North America is in the western mountainous areas, where the human population is lower, so it has taken longer to study western butterflies, and a lot more study is needed. We have made new findings on many wes.tern butterflies, and this progress is reported below. And Scott recently moved his collection out of old dermestid-infested drawers into fine very-tight ones that those beetles cannot enter, and in the process of resorting them found a dozen unnamed subspecies, which are named below. As we study our butterflies and learn more and more about them, a disturbing pattern has emerged.

  • Sequent Occupance in the Central City Area, Colorado Lvl Ary Grace Gillespie Man's Desire for the Precious Metals Has Taken Him Into Remote Areas of the Earth
    1,8 FIELD AND LABORATORY Acknowledgments: Collection of meteorites in the vicinity of Odessa crater was with the cooperation of Mr. George Pavey, Mr. Gray Pattillo, and Mr. Blake Hawk, all students or former students of Southern Methodist University. In the absence of the authors at the meetings of the American Association for the Advance­ ment of. Science, Professor Howard A. Meyerhoff kindly placed the paper in the hands of Professor Kirk Bryan for reading. The writers wish to express their appreci­ ation to Professor Bryan for his written comments and criticism of the paper, as well as for additional information on distribution of meteorites about Odessa Crater. Sequent Occupance in the Central City Area, Colorado lvl ary Grace Gillespie Man's desire for the precious metals has taken him into remote areas of the earth. This untiring search for gold lead to the exploration of the canyons of the Rocky Moun­ tains. In 1859 there appeared in an isolated mountain val­ ley of northern Colorado, a small settlement, later to be known as Central City, that boomed suddenly, lived bril­ liantly, and died quickly, only to be revived in 1932. In the summer of 1849 seven natives of Georgia while on their way to California made camp at the confluence of Cherry Creek and South Platte River. That autumn gold was discovered in the stream gravels, but winter weather prevented the prospectors from exploring the creek to its source. When spring came they went on to California, and remained there for several years prospeccting for gold. Later, these men became discontented, sold their claims in California, and returned to Georgia.

  • 2010 Introduction and Key
    History Colorado Colorado Historical Society State Historical Fund All Grants Awarded Through Fiscal Year 2010 INTRODUCTION AND KEY This report is a list of all grants awarded by the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund (SHF) since its inception in 1992 (state Fiscal Year 1993) through the end of Fiscal Year 2010. The amounts listed are the original award amounts. If for some reason the entire grant amount was not used (i.e., a project was terminated or was completed under budget) the full amount awarded will appear. In other instances grant awards were increased either to enable project completion or to cover the costs of easements. In these instances, the additional award amount is shown in a separate entry as an increase. In those cases where no work was accomplished and the funds were either declined by the grant recipient or were required to be returned to the SHF through rescissions, no entry will appear. For this reason, projects listed in one version of this report may not appear in later versions, and the financial information shown in this report may not be comparable to other revenue reports issued by the SHF. Grants listed in this report are identified by project ID number. The first two characters in the project ID number represent the fiscal year from which the grant was scheduled to be paid. The state is on a July 1 – June 30 fiscal year. So, for example, all grants made between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010 will be coded “10”. The next two characters identify the type of grant.

    TAR SJAParticle19/5 The San Juan Avalanche Project - FOR THE AVALANCHE REVIEW 19/5 By Don Bachman [email protected] 406.587.3830 (Authors note: This article is edited and expanded from one first published January, 2001 in the Silverton Mountain Journal (issue 21/volume 1), and includes a separate examination of the Alternative Methods Project. I am indebted for review and suggestions by Richard Armstrong and Ed LaChapelle.) Prolog: In early May of 1971, I was detailed by the University of Colorado, Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR), to Silverton, Colorado in the western San Juan Mountains. I arrived with a State purchase order and instructions to locate a house of suitable size to establish an office and living quarters for a newly funded avalanche research project. Most information in small towns can be found in a bar or the Post Office. I wisely visited the Post Office first and asked the clerk about the rental market. As luck would have it, she and her husband had a substantial Main Street house on the market and would love to rent the State of Colorado for as long as we could use it. A task I expected would take a week, took ten minutes. That night I stopped at the Grand Imperial Hotel to listen in on a busy mountain community of 850 people supported by the employment of two large metal mines, the Sunnyside and Idarado. I wasn't long on the bar stool before two fellows got up from a table and sandwiched me, right and left with the admonition from the big one on the right of "…we don't allow no @#$%^&*~ hippies in here".

As you cross the Continental Divide at 11,307-ft Berthoud Pass, there are great views into lower elevations. Take the evening to explore the historic Central City where Colorado’s first gold rush kicked off in 1859. Day 2: Today you’ll drive towards Grand Junction. This drive offers the full spectrum of the grandeur of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. As you pass through the Glenwood Canyon be sure to stop at the Hanging Lake Falls and the Hot Springs Pool. Tonight you’ll be staying at the Grand Junction /Clifton KOA. Day 3: Drive to Cortez today. Don’t take the direct way, but rather the Grand Mesa Scenic and Historic Byway following Highway 65, one of only 14 officially designated National Scenic Byways. You’ll be going through Grand Mesa National Forest with its semiarid environment and little vegetation. The road climbs through pine forests allowing a great view from 11,000 feet above sea level. Later this route will take you along the edge of the Uncompahgre Plateau and the San Juan National Forest, always following San Juan Skyway, the second All-American Road on this tour.

Bergolc All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Daniel Pavuk, Advisor Few studies have been performed on coleopteran (beetle) biodiversity in mountain ecosystems and relating them to multiple environmental factors. None of the studies have examined geologic influences on beetle communities. Little coleopteran research has been performed in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The main objectives of this study were to catalog the coleopteran fauna of a subalpine meadow in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and investigate the role geology had in the community structure of the Carabidae (ground beetles). The study site, a 160,000 m2 plot, was located near Sultan Creek and Molas Lake in San Juan County, Colorado. Five sites were in each bedrock formation: Molas, Elbert, and Ouray-Leadville. Insects were collected via pitfall trapping in 2006 and 2007, and identified by comparison with museum specimens, museum and insect identification websites, and by taxonomic experts. Biological and physical factors were recorded for each site: detritus cover and weight, plant cover and height, plant species richness, aspect, elevation, slope, soil temperature, pH, moisture, and compressive strength, and sediment size distribution.
