This study, authorized by Resource Study Proposal (RSP) CURE-H-1, seeks to identi:fy historical resources and historic sites lo­ cated within or closely associated with the recreation area. Such an undertaking will enable master planning teams to consider the use o:f historical data in interpre­ tive and development programs and provide £or the protection 0£ historic sites and structures. Ideally, thE! background study ought to precede the master plan team's field investigation. The urgency 0£ the Curecanti plan r1equired this investigation to be undertaken immediately at the beginning of the current :fiscal year and compelled it to be done while the team was in the field. Hopefully, this report will have found its way into the team's hands prior to their completion report. This report does not pretend to be a detailed or de­ £ini tive study of the history 0£ the Curecanti area.

  • ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally Mcbeth February 26, 2010
    ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute ETHNOGRAPHIC OVERVIEW DRAFT #2 Colorado National Monument Sally McBeth February 26, 2010 written in consultation with the Northern Ute Submitted to the National Park Service Cooperative Agreement # H1200040001 (phases I and II) and H1200090004 (phase III) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The generosity of many Ute friends, whose willingness to share their stories, remembrances, and recollections with me cannot go unacknowledged. I treasure their rich and profound understandings of ancestral landscape shared with me over the past three years. These friends include, but are not limited to Northern Ute tribal members (alphabetically): Loya Arrum, Betsy Chapoose, Clifford Duncan, Kessley LaRose, Roland McCook, Venita Taveapont, and Helen Wash. Their advice and suggestions on the writing of this final report were invaluable. Special thanks are due to Hank Schoch—without whose help I really would not have been able to complete (or even start) this project. His unflagging generosity in introducing me to the refulgent beauty and cultural complexity of Colorado National Monument cannot ever be adequately acknowledged. I treasure the memories of our hikes and ensuing discussions on politics, religion, and life. The critical readings by my friends and colleagues, Sally Crum (USFS), Dave Fishell (Museum of the West), Dave Price (NPS), Hank Schoch (NPS-COLM), Alan McBeth, and Mark Stevens were very valuable. Likewise the advice and comments of federal-level NPS staff Cyd Martin, Dave Ruppert, and especially Tara Travis were invaluable. Thanks, all of you. Former Colorado National Monument Superintendant Bruce Noble and Superintendant Joan Anzelmo provided tremendous support throughout the duration of the project.

  • Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1
    Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1 Unit 1 Overview: This unit covers the history of the Ute People from their creation story and life on the land to interactions and conflicts with Europeans and Americans. Lesson 1 introduces the creation story, an example of how Ute history has been preserved over time. Next, students learn about the importance of the land to the Ute people. The next three lessons explore how life changed for better or worse after contact with the first European explorers. The unit ends by taking a look at how the state/national government tried to control the lives of the Ute People . Essential Understanding #1: History is a story most often related through the individual experiences of the teller. With the inclusion of more and varied voices, histories are being rediscovered and revised. History told from the Ute perspective frequently conflicts with the stories mainstream historians tell; therefore, to understand the history and cultures of Colorado’s Ute Tribes requires understanding history from the perspectives of each tribe. Lesson Lesson Title Time Frame Lesson #1 The Creation Story 45 minutes Lesson #2 Before the Horse 60 minutes Lesson #3 European Contact: Raid, Trade and Socialization 60 minutes Lesson #4 Broken Promises 60 minutes Lesson #5 A Battle Between Cultures: The Utes Must Go! 75 minutes Lesson #6 Acculturation and Assimilation Through Education 90 minutes 12 Ute History Unit Overview Unit 1 Colorado Academic Standards – Social Studies: ● CO State History Standard 1: GLE #1 o EO.b. - Identify cause-and-effect relationships using primary sources to understand the history of Colorado’s development.

  • Forgotten Pathfinders: Along the North Branch of Old Spanish Trail 1650
    Forgotten Pathfnders Along the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail 1650-1850 by Jack William Nelson Copyright© 2003, Jack William Nelson Ed. 2016, Jon M. Nelson Forgotten pathfnders: Along the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail, 1650-1850 by Jack William Nelson About the author: Jack Nelson is a retired public schools administrator, with a Master of Arts in History from the University of Redlands, Redlands, California, 1950. He has spent many years researching the “Old Spanish Trail,” the fur trade era, Mountain Men, and all points connected. His background includes archaeological work, and untold hours backpacking miles of the “Trail.” His thesis, “Louis Robidoux, the Man Behind the Legend,” has been recognized as one of the few authentic documents pertaining to this entrepreneur of the ninteenth cen tury fur trade period. It has been used as reference for continued research on this subject, Jack Nelson is a native Coloradan, and now resides in Grand Junction, Colorado. Editors Note: This edition was published in 2003, with limited distribution, it was the intent of the Author to provide a wider public exposure through online publication as a Pdf, with the goal of promoting scholarship. lNTRODUCTlON “Forgotten Pathfnders” The North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail and Beyond This booklet is about a series of events which culminated in a Trail shrouded in the mists of history. Known today as the North Branch of the Old Spanish Trail, little physical evidence remains of this pack animal route(s) across the interior wilderness of the American Southwest. Priests spreading the Catholic faith, brigands bent upon capturing Indian slaves, “Mountain Men” speaking many languages, entrepreneurs seeking fame and fortune, and adventurers just seeking, all at some time played a role in creating this ephemeral route, once a major variant of the Old Spanish Trail.

    COLORADO MOUNTAIN MEN 15 supporting and independent. In his day, beaver skins were money in the vV est, and with these hairy banknotes he could buy anything that was for sale. At the summer rendezvous, the great fair of the wilderness, trappers, Indians, and bourgeois traders gathered in some mountain valley to exchange furs for supplies. Amidst the horse races and foot races, the wrestling bouts, Indian dances, shooting matches, fights, the gambling and drinking, the seasoned fur trapper had his brief holiday of prodigal living. He gloried in the name of Mountain Man. In this "Reckless Breed of Men" were many types of char­ acters. Perhaps the most picturesque was Old Bill Williams. From Ruxton 's excellent description we take an extract: Williams always rode ahead, his body bent over his saddle-horn, across which rested a long heavy rifle, his keen gray eyes peering from under the slouched brim of a flexible felt-hat, black and shining with grease.
