  • Fort Davy Crockett: Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge (Colorado)
    U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE: REGION 6 - CULTURAL RECOURSE PROGRAM Fort Davy Crockett?: An Archaeological Mystery Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge – Northwest Colorado Summarized from: A Report on the Results of Limited Subsurface Testing at 5MF5478, a Proposed Site of Historic Fort Davy Crockett, Moffat County, Colorado Kristen D. Kent and Mona C. Charles, Department of Anthropology, Fort Lewis College, Durango, Colorado December 2004 Introduction The follow excerpts are from a 2004 report documenting archaeological testing at the possible location of Fort Davy Crocket on the Brown’s Park National Wildlife Refuge. Many studies and much research has been conducted over the years to try and determine if the remains found on a bluff overlooking the Green River on the Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge are indeed those of the Fort. This research adds additional insight into the mystery. Fort Davy Crockett In 1837 three fur trappers, Prewett Sinclair, Philip Thompson, and William Criag, formed a partnership and reportedly built Fort Davy Crockett that same year. The Fort was named after the famous Tennessee frontiersman who died at the Battle of the Alamo in Texas the previous year. Kit Carson, another famous frontiersman, trapper and scout is reported to have been employed by the owners of Fort Davy Crockett. In 1839 members of the Peoria Party on their way to Oregon reported staying at the Fort. A description of the Fort was provided in the recordings of Thomas Jefferson Farnham, leader of the Peoria Party. He described the Fort thus: The fort, as it is called, peered up in the centre, upon the winding banks of the Sheetskadee.
