You can all of you. That is my challenge. manner. Simple, isn't it? And you have heard it many times before. Yet, we continue with certain and assorted groups dominating management and employment in our country—business as well as government and other groups— dominating the jobs low on the pay scales and the employment rolls. Why is this? We are really one group— citizens of this Nation are truly a homogeneous collection of ancestries with origins that cover the world. Ours has been and continues to be the land of opportunity. Certainly in this group there are differences in color, race, heritage, sex, talent and numerous other factors that distinguish us, because you will be the first to admit that all of us are not identical and it is fortunate that we are not. Our interests and pursuits are also different and it is the factor of complementing capabilities that makes the group most effective. It is basic that the extent of our opportunity is directly dependent upon our initiative and capability. You and I could make a long list of items that affect the equal opportunity and human rights equation—education, prejudice, attitude, job examinations, and so forth. All of these are correctible—all we have to do is put our minds to it. Essential to any progress or achievement is the necessity to have full integration of EEO as a part of and equal partner in program responsibilities. It must be institutionalized.

The guest of honor was there in spirit, the embodiment of her reputation as a pioneer in women's rights in America. She is distinguished as being the first women president of an American Bank; editor of a newspaper considered one of the best journals of its class in America; an educator, and stalwart community leader fostering racial cohesiveness and improvement in life in general for members of her race. The celebration of the 112th anniversary of Maggie Walker's birth in 1867, was part of a deed transfer ceremony. Mrs. Walker's grand­ daughter, Dr. Maggie Laura Walker Lewis, who is now a practicing physician in Chicago, handed over to the National Park Service the deed to Maggie Walker's last home and its furnishings. "I am a very happy person today, on this one of the most auspicious occasions of my life," Dr. Lewis commented. "I am surrounded by family and friends with whom I reminisce about my grandmother—her life and her deeds."

Using tree-ring methods, we dated deadwood to AD 815– 1350 and infer from death dates that the eruption occurred in late summer AD 1350. Based on wood anatomy, we identified deadwood species as Pinus albicaulis, P. monticola, P. lambertiana, P. contorta, P. jeffreyi, and Tsuga mertensiana. Only P. albicaulis grows at these elevations currently; P. lambertiana is not locally native. Using contemporary distributions of the species, we modeled paleoclimate during the time of sympatry to be significantly warmer (+3.2°C annual minimum temperature) and slightly drier (−24 mm annual precipitation) than present, resembling values projected for California in the next 70–100 yr. © 2006 University of Washington.

When a call· for volunteers was made for the War of 1812, Kearny enlisted, even though he was only a few weeks away from a Bachelor of Arts degree. In the early part of the war he was captured at the battle of Queenstown. But an exchange of prisoners soon brought him to Boston.

During the following five years while New Mexico remained under Mexican control, Beaubien actively endeavored to populate the grant. Struggling against the machinations of provincial politics, the bitter hatred of Father Antonio Jose Martinez of Taos, and the incursions of savage Indians who claimed the region as their own, he was unable to establish a permanent settlement during these years. Beaubien's role in proving the fertility of the soil and the richness of the grasses, however, laid the groundwork for the later establishment of a town on the Rayado River and the development of the area by his sons-in-law, Jesus G.

    Bent’s Old Fort Bent’s Old Fort is located 8 miles east of La Junta, Colorado along the Arkansas River. It was the first permanent settlement in the central plains region and was an important trading post where travelers, traders, and Native Americans mixed peacefully. The Old Bent’s Fort Map drawn around 1850 by Will Boggs, an associate of Kit Carson, gives a sense of the design and surroundings of Bent’s Old Fort Most of the Boggs’ detail focuses on the structure itself and the illustration suggests the fort was built to be largely self-sufficient. The fort had trade and council rooms, sleeping quarters, storehouses, a wagon room (that could house 15 wagons), and a stone-lined well. Billiards, chess, dances, and even a racetrack outside the fort provided entertainment for travelers and the laborers housed within the walls. The fort was defended by high Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum Primary Source Resource Page 1 Bent’s Old Fort walls with two towers, a swivel gun, and two six-pound canons. The corral had lower walls planted with cactus to protect horses and mules. The existence of Boggs’ map hints at the importance of the fort. Boggs spent the winter of 1844 at the fort; six years after his visit, Boggs drew the map from memory. The map’s relative accuracy implies that Bent’s Fort held an important place in the mind of Will Boggs; that he put his memory of Bent’s Fort into a visual representation years after his visit, suggests that he also recognized its importance to others.

    CAMP Online Trails Surveys In cooperation with the Town of Mammoth Lakes, Alta Planning + Design, and Trail Solutions, MLTPA provided feedback on both the Summer and Winter Online Trail Survey questions and format, which were developed by the TOML and the consultant teams with assistance from the survey hosting company, Leisure Trends. MLTPA also conducted the majority of public outreach for these surveys, the methods of which are discussed below. The Summer Online Trail Survey ran from October 27, 2007, to March 14, 2008, and was completed by 330 people. The Winter Online Trail Survey ran from December 18, 2007, to March 14, 2008, and was completed by 316 people. (An unknown number of participants in both cases started taking the surveys, but did not finish; as a result, their input is not reflected in these totals.) Results and copies of the survey contents are available in Appendix E, “CAMP: Summer Survey Data (TOML),” and Appendix F, “CAMP: Winter Survey Data (TOML).” • Business cards Beginning with CAMP: WINTER outreach efforts, MLTPA designed, produced, and distributed business cards driving people to the MLTPA website to take both the Summer and Winter surveys. Cards were handed out by individuals and also were provided to a number of local businesses with display-ready cardholders to minimize point-of-sale clutter. • E-mail campaigns As part of their regular e-mail blasts for both events, MLTPA invited recipients to participate in both the Summer and Winter trail surveys, providing direct links to the survey URLs. Please see the “E-mail campaigns” chapters of the “CAMP: SUMMER” and “CAMP: WINTER” reports for further detail.

    Bent, St. Vrain & Co. Among the Comanche and Kiowa

    Bent, St. Vrain & Co. among the Comanche and Kiowa BY JANET LECOMPTE Bent's Fort on the Arkansas was not built exclusively for the trade of the Cheyenne and Arapaho. Its owners, Charles and William Bent and Ceran St. Vrain, intended to trade with many other tribes, especially the Comanche, the most numerous Indians of the southern plains.1 Although in 1835 William Bent made the long journey to Texas to seek the Comanche's busi­ ness and the Indians were friendly, it was another seven years before trade with them was achieved. In the fall of 1842 Bent, St. Vrain and Company built a log post in the Texas panhandle on the south fork of the Canadian River (Red River or Rio Colorado) for the Comanche and Kiowa. The post was popular with the Indians and profitable for the company, and by the summer of 1845 another Bent post of adobe had been built within a few miles of the log fort; but in the spring of 1846 the Comanche became hostile, and the Bents abandoned their Canadian River posts, probably permanently. In later years the ruins of the adobe post were known as Adobe Walls and became the site of two Indian fights, both celebrated in nu­ merous "true-west" stories and Sunday-supplement thrillers as the "Battle of Adobe Walls." About the era of Bent traders on the Canadian little has been written, that little being a snarl of myth and contradiction. When the Bents and St. Vrain built their picket post on the Arkansas in 1833 or 1834, they wanted to trade with the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Kiowa, Snake (Shoshone), Sioux, and Arikara, as their trading license shows.2 By the time that they 1 In 1846 Charles Bent estimated the population of Cheyenne at 1,500, Arapaho at 1,600, K10wa at 2,000, and Comanche at 12,000, counting only the Indians of New Mexico (which included present southern Colorado) and not the many thousands of Comanche in Texas.
