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. She recently authored Swept Under the Rug: A Hidden History ofNavajo Weaving, published by University ofNew Mexico Press (2002).

  • 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.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXX Denver, Colorado, April, 1953 Number 2 Rico, and the Creation of Dolores County D. II. Cunr:mKS and MARGUERITE BEARD* Today a few houses mark the site of Rico, at one time the county seat of Dolores County and the location of Pioneer Mining District, one of the richest of the early carbonate mining fields. The glory of Rico lies in its past, for today Dolores County has become famous for its raising of beans as a result of its experiment with dry farming. The location of the seat of government has accompanied this economic shift, and thus the county business is now transacted in the western part of the county at Dove Creek rather than on the Dolores at Rico. The history of Rico and the creation of Dolores County is typical of many similar incidents, but the telling of such incidents never grows old. The history of Rico is of particular interest to the historian, because the files of the Dolores X ews are so complete for the early days of the town that one can trace the complete metamorphosis from its records. 'l'he paper was begun when the site of Rico 'ms only a mining camp, and from its pages ·we can secure the story of the creation of a mining district, the incorpora­ tion of a town, and the organization of a new county. This then is the story of Rico and Dolores County as told by the Dolores K ews, with occasional references to the Solicl 111.illdoon, a Ouray publica­ tion, and the La Plata Min er, published in Sih·erton.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XL Denver, Colorado, April, 1963 Number 2 The Life and Times of Roland and Elizabeth Blunt By HARRY CHALFANT This article appeared in the March-April, 1962, issue of True West, as edited by Publisher J. A. Small. With the permission of Mr. Small we are publishing the article as originally written by Harry Chalfant. Mr. Chalfant, a native of Colorado, was born in Boulder, while his father, a veteran of World War I, was attending the University of Colorado. He is a member of the State Historical Society, makes his home in Colorado Springs, and is employed by the Ideal Cement Company. On August 18, 1944, Harry Chalfant married Maxine Eleanor Blunt, youngest daughter of Roland and Elizabeth Blunt. In answer to our query about the family, Mr. Chalfant wrote on February 9, 1963 : "Mom is still living. In fact, she's sitting in our living room right now-spending a few weeks with us. Most of the time, however, she lives in the brick home the folks built in Florence in 1895. She cele­ brated her 88th birthday last September. We took her for a ride through the Wet Mountain Valley and stopped to have a oicnic lunch at the old Plasiflora Mine. Dad passed away August 10, 1959, just fourteen days before his ninety-second birthday." All photographs are from the Blunt family collection.-Editor. Roland and Elizabeth Blunt were ordinary, God-fearing folks. They were real Colorado pioneers. As children, both came to Fremont County in 1879.

This dignified pioneer, once the county courthouse, has stoically endured and silently witnessed numerous booms and busts in Central City and Gilpin County. Its unobtrusive clapboard covering (added about 1864) belies the structure's great age, while it conceals the hand-hewn, square logs that once formed its exterior. Many sightseers saunter past it; art lovers walk through what was the jail and climb the stairs to the former courtroom, now an art gallery, to observe the latest works of Colorado artists.

  • THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Hal Sayre
    THE COLO R ADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society of Colorado Vol. XXXIX Denver, Colorado, July, 1962 Number 3 Hal Sayre---Fifty-Niner By ROBERT H. SAYRE* "When he died it was written of Hal Sayre that he was 'a man whose life encompassed the story of Colorado.' From the June day in 1859 when he crossed the plains in a prairie schooner ... until December of 1926, when death came to him ... Hal Sayre was a liv­ ing, planning, working part of the Old West."-Robert L. Chase. Thomas Sayre, founder of the family in America, came from Bedfordshire, in England. Entries in the records of the 13th Century church at Leighton Buzzard indicate that the family lived there, or thereabouts, for several centuries. Ac­ cording to these records, which are still available, Thomas was baptized there in 1597. Unfortunately, there is a gap in the record until 1639, when Thomas again appears in the rec­ ords of Lynn, Massachusetts, as one of the founders of that community. In this interim, just why, how, or exactly when he immigrated to the New World is not known. My father did some research of his own, and arrived at the date of 1612, through records which are not available to me, landing in Jamestown, Virginia. I think father got this from the Genea­ logical Library in Boston, Massachusetts. In any event, it is understood that Thomas and his brother Job preceded the Pilgrims, and it is rather likely that they did not get along with these Puritanical gentlemen. The family is said to have been French originally, and to have fled to England very soon after the massacre of St.
