Advent of great Prehistoric Cliff Dwelling Civilization in the Mesa Verde region. 1276 to 1299 A.D. A great drought and/or pressure from nomadic tribes forced the Cliff Dwellers to abandon their Mesa Verde homes. 1500 A.D. Ute Indians inhabit mountain areas of southern Rocky Mountains making these Native Americans the oldest continuous residents of Colorado. 1541 A.D. Coronado, famed Spanish explorer, may have crossed the southeastern corner of present Colorado on his return march to Mexico after vain hunt for the golden Seven Cities of Cibola. 1682 A.D. Explorer La Salle appropriates for France all of the area now known as Colorado east of the Rocky Mountains. 1765 A.D.

Through the Louisiana Purchase, signed by President Thomas Jefferson, the United States acquires a vast area which included what is now most of eastern Colorado. While the United States lays claim to this vast territory, Native Americans have resided here for hundreds of years. 1806 A.D. Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike and small party of U.S.

    Berwind Historical Marker

    Archaeology of the Colorado Coal Field War, 1913-1914 University of Denver Deliverable #5 Project #2000-02-045 Berwind Historical Marker TEXT FOR THE BERWIND HISTORICAL MARKER On this site stood the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's coal camp of Berwind, established in 1888. The camp was named after Edward J. Berwind, president of the Colorado Coal and Iron Company, which was later bought out by CF&I. In 1901 the company established the Tabasco coal camp, located one-mile northwest of here on the Ludlow Branch of the Colorado and Southern Railway. The camps were home to many ethnic groups. The largest group at Berwind were Italians. There were also large numbers of Eastern Europeans, Mexicans and Greeks. While men worked in the mines, women spent their days raising children, cooking, and cleaning. The presence of heavy air-borne coal dust and the absence of running water made for very unsanitary conditions in the household. Working conditions in the mines were exploitative and unsafe. The terrible living and working conditions caused the miners to engage in a series of strikes. The 1913 strike was one of the most violent. On September 23, 1913, Berwind's strikers streamed into the Ludlow Tent Colony located at the mouth of this canyon to the east. This strike climaxed with the Ludlow Massacre of April 20, 1914, and eventually ended in December 1914. As a result of the strike living and working conditions improved in company towns throughout the U.S. Here in Berwind improvements included two new churches, two new schools, and a YMCA.

Young Thomas Andrews Date The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. ii Campbell-Hale, Leigh (Ph.D, History) Remembering Ludlow but Forgetting the Columbine: The 1927-1928 Colorado Coal Strike Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Phoebe S.K. Young This dissertation examines the causes, context, and legacies of the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike in relationship to the history of labor organizing and coalmining in both Colorado and the United States. While historians have written prolifically about the Ludlow Massacre, which took place during the 1913- 1914 Colorado coal strike led by the United Mine Workers of America, there has been a curious lack of attention to the Columbine Massacre that occurred not far away within the 1927-1928 Colorado coal strike, led by the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW).
