UTMs: See data pages 63, 64 Present Owner: Denver International Airport, City and County of Denver Present Occupant: Denver International Airport Present Use: Airport construction (1992) statement of Significance: The Denver International Airport site has a Euroamerican history that can be traced to the early nineteenth century. Today, cultural remains and archival information exist to explain and interpret that history. The primary past land uses of the airport site offer an easily comprehensible vehicle for viewing the history of the area. The earliest uses Euroamericans found for the airport site and the lands around it were connected to the development of a Colorado plains transportation network. The second, and more pervasive, use was for agriculture. The agricultural uses represent many spec ializations including ranching, dryland and irrigated farming, dairying and cattle feed ing in preparation for marketing. The rel ative importance of these activities chang ed over time as did the methods different individuals used. Closely associated with agriculture have been shifts in land owner ship patterns. By 1910 most of the land had passed from the public domain into private ownership. -

The report pulls together the components of sever- al past and present city planning efforts that relate to the South Platte. It examines the existing conditions along the Platte as well as feedback from the general public on the desire for more local recreational opportunities along the river. From this analysis the report suggests a path to devel- oping an integrated system of parks, recreation, open space and trails within the river corridor. Why Invest in the South Platte River Corridor? In Colorado, investment in outdoor recreation is often one of the greatest economic development tools any community can provide. -

The Controversial Career of Edward W. Wynkoop
The Controversial Career of Edward W. Wynkoop BY THOMAS D. ISERN On an autumn day in 1858 lanky Edward Wanshear Wynkoop disem barked from a sidewheel steamer in busy Leavenworth, Kansas Terri tory. Born on 19 June 1836 in Philadelphia, he had spent the first twenty years of his life in Pennsylvania, where his family was engaged in smelting iron. His grandfather, Henry Wynkoop, had been a member of the Continental Congress, and his great-great-great-grandfather had come from Utrecht, Holland, to settle in the New Netherlands in 1640. However, prominent lineage meant little to the restless youth . He pro ceeded from Leavenworth to Lecompton, the territorial capitol of Kan sas, to become a clerk for his brother-in-law William Brindle, receiver of the United States Land Office in Lecompton. In Kansas the Pennsyl vanian began a manifold western career filled with controversy at every stage. His character, a combination of reckless stubbornness and stern moralism, generated conflict wherever he went. Nowhere was this more true than in Colorado, where Wynkoop rose to prominence and made friendships and enmities that lasted for a lifetime.1 Brindle, Wynkoop's patron in Kansas, was a fiery advocate of the divine truth of Presbyterianism and the divine right of slavery. Wyn koop shunned involvement in the sectional controversy then burning in Kansas, but from Brindle he learned about the virtues of the Democratic party and the intricacies of the real estate business, and he mastered the Colt revolver. He soon acquired political connections in Kansas, in cluding the friendship of Governor James W . -

For more information, please contact [email protected],[email protected]. THE RIGHT TO ARMS IN NINETEENTH CENTURY COLORADO DAVID B. KOPELt ABSTRACT This Article details the legal, cultural, and political history of the right to arms in Colorado in the nineteenth century. The Article pays particular attention to the period between 1858, when mass white settlement began with the gold rush, and 1876, when Colorado achieved statehood. When Colorado became the thirty-eighth state, Coloradans chose to adopt a constitution whose right to arms guarantee was stronger than any other state. The choice stemmed in part from pre-statehood conditions, when the settlers had to rely on their own resources for defense against a myriad of dangers. Right from the start, Coloradans established a vigorous and enduring tradition of self-government and self-defense. In the Colorado view, the right to arms is an inherent, inalienable human right, which is protected by legitimate governments, but not created by government. Accordingly, the Article extensively describes the exercise of the right to arms by Colorado Indians. -
