    Publication Number: M-617 Publication Title: Returns from U.S. Military Posts, 1800-1916 Date Published: 1968 RETURNS FROM U.S. MILITARY POSTS, 1800-1916 On the 1550 rolls of this microfilm publication, M617, are reproduced returns from U.S. military posts from the early 1800's to 1916, with a few returns extending through 1917. Most of the returns are part of Record Group 94, Records of the Adjutant General's Office; the remainder is part of Record Group 393, Records of United States Army Continental Commands, 1821-1920, and Record Group 395, Records of United States Army Overseas Operations and Commands, 1898-1942. The commanding officer of every post, as well ad commanders of all other bodies of troops such as department, division, brigade, regiment, or detachment, was required by Army Regulations to submit a return (a type of personnel report) to The Adjutant General at specified intervals, usually monthly, on forms provided by that office. Several additions and modifications were made in the form over the years, but basically it was designed to show the units that were stationed at a particular post and their strength, the names and duties of the officers, the number of officers present and absent, a listing of official communications received, and a record of events. In the early 19th century the form used for the post return usually was the same as the one used for regimental or organizational returns. Printed forms were issued by the Adjutant General’s Office, but more commonly used were manuscript forms patterned after the printed forms.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bi-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado VOL. XI Denver, Colorado, March, 1934 No. 2 Catching Wild Horses HOMER HOYT* Having been asked by a representative of the Colorado State Historical Rociety to cl('serilJP the method of catching wild horses. f will endeavor to do so. As the wild horse is almost a thing of the past, soon there will be no one living competent to describe the process authoritatively. There are few men now living who have had a very wide experience in catching wild horses. Among them I will mention two whom I consider the very highest authority, Mr. Thomas A. Hightower, now living in California, and Mr. Wal­ ter Harris Brown. I do not know the whereabouts of Mr. Brown. At last report, in the late '90s, he was at Cripple Creek, Colorado, with a herd of burros to sell to the miners. I received my first tutelage from Mr. Jerry McGahan, com­ monly known throughout the United States as "Wild Horse" .Terry. He usually corralled his horses either at his home ranch five miles west of Pawnee Buttes, Weld County, Colorado, or at Indian Cave, twenty miles east of the Buttes. In the summer of 1886 Bob and Tom Hightower went to the Panhandle of 'l'exas, chased around all summer and caught noth­ ing, although they both were first class wild horse men. The reason for failure was shortage of saddle stock. In the spring of 1887 the brothers asked mr to join them as I had several saddle horses.

    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.

    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.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published bl-monthly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XVIII Denver, Colorado, January, 1941 No. 1 Colorado Folklore LE\'ET'l'E JAY DAVIDSON* Between the factual and objective records of the past, which we recognize as history, and the artistic and personal interpretations of life, which we call literature, there lies a popular region known as folklore. 1 Here one finds the traditional customs, beliefs, songs, sayings, tales and legends ''of the people, by the people and for the people." For the members of a social group, be it a primitive tribe or a regional unit of some complex modern nation, these constitute a rich common heritage. The line separating this body of normally oral tradition from the formally transmittecl sciences ancl arts, is often a dim one; the sciences tend to replace man~ ' folk beliefs and to modify old customs, while the fine arts frequently absorb or build upon folk tales, tradi­ tional songs, and popular sa~'ings. As material for the study of cultural development and as a revelation of the basic in human nature, folklore has great values. Furthermore, it is often very delightful. Although Colorado is one of the youngest of the states and the center of what "\\as onl~r recentl~, the raw frontier, her informal cultural heritage has been cumulating for more than a century. It c1eserves serious attention. Inspiration and guidance for the study of our local folklore may be gleaned from the publications of such well-known collectors of songs and ballads as John Lomax, Robert \V.
