  • This Week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker?
    This week at the Pioneer Museum Alferd Packer, Cannibal Jewelry Maker? Submitted by Larry McDonald Alferd Packer, the Colorado Cannibal, left behind quite a legacy, including a few mementos you can find right here in our own Pioneer Museum. Alferd spent some time in our local jail during his second trial in 1886, for presumably devouring his five companions during their ill-fated journey near Lake City 12 years prior. Although his story is well told through many books, magazine articles, movies, documentaries, and even the Lovely Ballad of Alferd Packer by Phil Ochs, his skill as a jewelry maker are not as well known. On the second floor of the museum’s main building is an exhibit of early Gunnison law enforcement officials and related artifacts. Included in the display are items Mr. Packer made during his considerable time behind bars. There is the beautiful cane he made from animal horns, a watch fob he made from human hair, along with a stick pin and watch chain. Also displayed are the leg shackles he wore while in court, and a gruesome sketch and article from an edition of the Harpers Weekly magazine. It was Harpers Weekly illustrator, John A. Randolph, who had stumbled upon the victims’ remains above Lake City in August 1874, and brought their plight to the attention of the nation in the October 17 edition a few months later. The main entrance building at the museum houses an incredible collection of artifacts that can seriously hinder a visitors’ attempt to see the exhibits in the other 30+ buildings on site.

Most of the Loop winds through public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service, although many mines and buildings are on private property. Today’s explorers come, summer or winter, in 4-wheel-drive vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles, mountain bikes, and even 2-wheel-drive cars for a short distance. They explore on foot, horseback, or snowshoes, or ski on the numerous trails. Instead of shovels and gold pans, they carry sketchbooks, cameras, fishing rods, and field guides to help them enjoy the grandeur, scenery, solitude, and wildlife of the remote San Juan backcountry. This gem, the Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, is your gateway off the beaten track. Uncompahgre Peak (14,309 feet). ~ Photo courtesy of Bureau of Land Management Rising high above the Alpine Loop, the mountains insist that you acknowledge their presence. All around, a kaleidoscope of summer wildflowers gathers along the trails, and the sounds of cascading streams are everywhere. The pure, clear air startles you with its crisp bite, even before your gasp reminds you of the altitude. In front of you the road beckons, leading you higher and higher into an alpine tapestry of greens, browns, whites, and blues.

  • Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery
    Museum of the West History Docent Guide 2017 Spanish Exhibit Gallery Exploring the Northern Frontier The Rivera Expedition The “Kingdom and Province of New Mexico” and its northern frontiers was a huge geographical area. This kingdom included all or part of New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas. In 1765 New Mexican Governor Tomas Velez Cachupin asked explorer Don Juan Maria Antonio de Rivera to lead an expedition to explore the northern frontier. Governor Cachupin was worried about encroachment by other European powers and wanted to find the legendary Rio del Tizon (Colorado River) and a place to ford it. The Governor was also interested in the legend that was on the other side of the Rio del Tizon River, was Lake Copala, home of an unknown wealthy civilization. Rivera had traveled north before in 1761 and had his own reasons for going that included searching for gold and silver deposits and evidence of native mining activity. Rivera and his men traveled as far north as the present-day City of Durango, Colorado and then returned home to Santa Fe with no news of European intrigue or finding a mysterious civilization. Governor Cachupin, although discouraged, sent Rivera north one more time to reach the Rio del Tizon and report on evidence of this much-rumored civilization. Rivera left Santa Fe in October of 1765 and headed north as far as present-day Delta, Colorado before returning home to Santa Fe. Although unsuccessful in their quest, the expedition had mapped and kept journals of the new lands and people they met.
