Within it were living ^quarters, a barn, storage areas, and stalls for trade. The walls were described as being pierced by rifle ports for defense. Guard towers located oh"two corners of the post also served as defense installations. Contemporary records cite the approximate dimensions of the trading post. The walls were described as being twelve feet high and constructed of adobe. The fort was approximately 100 feet square. The original foundations were sandstone. Today, the site is occupied by a visitors' center and exhibit area, and a WPA reconstruction. Within the visitors' center are exhibited items pertaining to Colorado's early fur trade as it related to the Vasquez trading post. The WPA structure is not considered to be very authentic. Fortunately, it does not occupy the exact site of the original post, being aligned a few feet to one side of the original foundations. Because of these facts, a historical archaeology project has been jundertaken to establish the exact dimensions of the fort, as well as recovering items of historical interest for exhibit at the center. This archaeological project has been underway since 1963, when the visitors' center was proposed. It continues today, providing an accurate picture of the fort's physical nature. *.'':. - ' - ••- - Note: Only the site of the Fort Vasquez trading post is being nominated for inclusion on the Register. Neither the WPA reconstruction nor the Visitors' Center are being considered as applicable to the list.

Such things as nails, knives, food, cooking implements and "Taos Lightning" (whisky) were brought in by wagon to U the Fort for exchange with the Indians. The chief commodity of the Indians was buffalo, hides and robes. Other items of trade were occasional be4ver___skins and gold dust. uo Vasquez and Sublette sold Fort Vasquez in 1840 or 1841, due to the heavy competition imposed by trading forts located nearby, also on the South Platte. UJ Today, a visitors' center and a nearby WPA restoration LJ of the trading post are maintained by the State to tell of "Colorado's early fur trade and of the mountain men" who ventured into business matters. In addition, the State is conducting archaeological research on the original foundations to better determine the physical nature of Fort Vasquez.

  • Thesis Methods of Dating Glass Beads From
    THESIS METHODS OF DATING GLASS BEADS FROM PROTOHISTORIC SITES IN THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN, COLORADO Submitted by Christopher R. von Wedell Department of Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Fall 2011 Master‟s Committee Advisor: Jason M. LaBelle Sammy J. Zahran Mary Van Buren ABSTRACT METHODS OF DATING GLASS BEADS FROM PROTOHISTORIC SITES IN THE SOUTH PLATTE RIVER BASIN, COLORADO Morphological characteristics and chemical trace elements counts acquired using Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry analyses were documented for glass trade beads from 24 protohistoric archaeological assemblages in the South Platte River Basin. The resulting database was used to provide quantitative descriptions of each recorded assemblage and to characterize the types of glass beads currently reported in the region. Statistical analyses were then conducted to determine if and to what extent morphological and chemical traits change through time. Characteristics of beads in dated contexts were then used to develop a linear regression model in an attempt to determine if it is possible to estimate the age of beads from undated contexts. It is concluded that morphological and chemical characteristics of glass beads in dated contexts can be used to estimate the age of glass beads in undated contexts using linear regression. The results of this thesis demonstrate that morphological characteristics are currently more accurate and precise than chemistry although both methods hold potential for revision and improvement as more dated sites become available to supplement the statistical models. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis was made possible by the encouragement, support, and gentle nudging of many individuals and institutions.

  • 2009 Calendar
    The Fort Lupton Historic Preservation Board 2009 CALENDAR 711 Denver Avenue The Birthing House In 1903, W.J. Winbourn built the house on Denver Avenue for landowner John Corcoran as a boarding house. John, who served as the town’s well digger, also was Fort Lupton’s lamplighter. Since Mr. Corcoran also had plumbing expertise, the house on Denver Avenue probably was the first—or one of the first—houses in Fort Lupton to have modern plumbing. Home births were the norm as hospitals were few and far between. During the 1930s and 40s, many townspeople as well as people from surrounding towns in the valley (Wiggins, Roggen, Keenesburg, Hudson and Platteville) were born at one of the two birthing houses in Fort Lupton. The birthing house on Denver Avenue was run by a nurse, Mrs. Schallenberger. Mrs. Schallenberger’s maiden name was Bessie May Corcoran. Under other marriages she was known as Mrs. Winbourn and Mrs. Schallenberger-Funk. The other birthing house in town was operated by nurse Roberta Fellers. The house reverted back to a boarding house in the 50s and 60s. In the 70s, the house was a family home and a sewing shop. The house which still stands today is once again being used as a boarding house.

  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by the State Historical Socie,Ty of Colorado VOL
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Socie,ty of Colorado VOL. V Denver, Colorado, February, 1928 No. 1 The Early Settlements of Southern Colorado By Francis T. Cheetham* Pioneering has ahvays been hazardous, especially so in south­ ern Colorado. The early settlements of that section were made against heavy odds. The usual hardships endured in making iso­ lated settlements, were doubled by the hostility of powerful and warlike tribes of Indians who inhabited the mountains and plains. To settle this region was like drivi11g a salient into an enemy's lines. In the early part of the nineteenth century the United States government came to the realization that the tribes east of the Mis­ sissippi River must be moved west. 'l'he pressure was becoming too great. The Indians were clinging to their tribal customs and manners of living. To continue their tribal life required an open country. In 1826 the government decided to move the Creeks west of the great river.1 'l'his was followed by the removal of the Chero­ kees, Choctaws and many of the northern tribes, and of itself created an undue pressure, because these tribes looked westward for their hunting grounds. At the beginning of the nineteenth century Taos, New Mexico, was the northern outpost of. the Spanish possessions. It formed the base of the northward movement. In 1815 settlements were made at Arroyo Seco and Arroyo Hondo, each about ten miles from Taos. 2 The manner in which this advance was effected was by venturing out first with herds of sheep and goats, in quest o-f suitable pasture.
