  • COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by the State Historical Society of Colorado
    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published by The State Historical Society of Colorado VO L. VIII Denver, Colorado, May, 1931 No. 3 History of Fort Lewis, Colorado MARY c. AYRES* At the base of the La Plata Mountains, twelve miles west of Durango, was located the military post of Fort Lewis. During frontier days this was an important place not only in military operations a!Ild Indian fights but in the social life of the region as well. Here were stationed not only dashing young graduates of West Point but also many officers who had gained fame on the battlefields of the Civil War. The fort owed its existence to the warfare between the Indians and whites and was abatndoned when the need for protection was no longer felt. The first issue of the La Plata Miner, published in Silverton on Saturday, July 10, 1875, contained an editorial written by the editor, John R. Curry, on the need for the establishment of a mili­ tary post in the Animas valley. Though two years earlier the Utes had signed the Brunot treaty, relinquishing their rights to the San Juan mining region, they still roamed at large through the country, becoming increasingly hostile as the white settlers in­ creased in number and more land was taken up. As the Indians lived largely by hunting they knew of no other way to exist and realized that as more land was occupied by the immense herds of cattle which were being brought in, game would disappear and their food supply be diminished. Their ideal was to preserve their hunting grounds intact while periodically visiting an agency to receive their raLons.

  • FT. LYON SUPPORTIVE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT: JULY 2015–JUNE 2016 Produced by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless
    FT. LYON SUPPORTIVE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY ANNUAL REPORT: JULY 2015–JUNE 2016 Produced by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Fort Lyon Supportive Residential Community provides transitional housing and supportive services to homeless and at-risk individuals from across Colorado, with a priority on serving homeless veterans. Situated on 552 acres in the Lower Arkansas Valley, the Fort Lyon initiative is a state-wide collaborative led by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless, Bent County and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Under the direction of Governor John Hickenlooper, the former Veterans Administration hospital has been successfully repurposed, recently completing three years of program operation serving nearly 800 of Colorado’s most vulnerable citizens. In Fiscal Year 2016, Fort Lyon served 432 individuals, 88 of those being veterans. Fort Lyon residents represented a large portion of the state of Colorado, with the highest representative populations coming from Denver, El Paso, Jefferson, Arapahoe and Pueblo counties. Most residents arrived on campus with no cash income and multiple health conditions after experiencing homelessness for more than a year. Through person-centered and strengths-based case management, recovery-oriented peer support, direct access to post-secondary education, vocational training, and employment, the Fort Lyon program realized a 91% average monthly retention rate within its safe, trauma-informed environment. Eighty-three percent of residents participated in recovery-based support groups including New Beginnings early drug and alcohol education, Life Ring and Alcohol/Narcotics Anonymous. Through this cross-section of services and opportunities, the average resident stayed engaged in the Fort Lyon program for over 9 months, increasing their odds of obtaining long-term sobriety.1 Among those residents who left Fort Lyon in Fiscal Year 2016, 63% moved on to permanent or transitional housing destinations, with 40% securing permanent housing.

Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Keaton J Kell iii THESIS ABSTRACT Keaton J Kell Master of Science Conflict and Dispute Resolution Program June 2017 Title: Massacre on the Plains: A Better Way to Conceptualize Genocide on American Soil This thesis examines the massacres of the Plains Indian Wars in the United States (1851-1890) and how they relate to contemporary theories of genocide. By using the Plains Indian Wars as a case study, a critique can be made of theories which inform predictive models and genocide policy. This thesis analyzes newspaper articles, histories, congressional investigations, presidential speeches, and administrative policies surrounding the four primary massacres perpetrated by the United States during this time. An ideology of racial superiority and fears of insecurity, impurity, and insurgency drove the actions of the white settler-colonialists and their military counterparts.

    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Thomas O. Boggs December 2012 Boggsville Reconnaissance Study, History, and Evaluation of Significance Bent County, Colorado Background his reconnaissance study was prepared by the National Park Service (NPS) at T the request of U.S. Representative Cory Gardner (CO), who asked the NPS to evaluate Boggsville, Colorado, as a potential new unit of the park service.1 Boggsville, which is in Bent County, Colorado, is a 39-acre historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986; that nomination determined that Boggsville had a state level of significance. The purpose of the NPS reconnaissance study was to determine if Boggsville also met NPS criteria for national significance. If deemed nationally significant, Boggsville could then be further considered as a National Historic Landmark, or as a potential unit of the NPS. The primary contributing buildings at Boggsville include the Thomas O. Boggs home and the John W. Prowers house. The Pioneer Historical Society of Bent County acquired Boggsville in 1985. The site consists of 110 acres of land, of which 39 acres are associated with the Boggsville settlement. Thomas Boggs Home - NPS Photo, Greg Kendrick The history and evaluation of national significance was prepared by historian and PhD candidate Steven C. Baker, under the supervision of Dr. Ralph Mann, associate professor, Department of History, University of Colorado Boulder, working in cooperation with the Heritage Partnerships Program of the NPS Intermountain Region. 1 Cory Gardner, Member of Congress, House of Representatives, letter to Jon Jarvis, Director, U.S.
