colleges, and folk venues and festivals, often lodging in motel rooms or
the homes of friends. He suffered from drug addiction and alcoholism, and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.</div><div class="ujudUb"><p class="subhead">"He was a reckless drunk and a hopeless idealist, but

Van Zandt remembered his time in Colorado fondly and often visited it
as an adult. He later referred to Colorado in "My Proud Mountains,""Colorado Girl," and "Snowin' on Raton." Townes was a good student and
active in team sports. In grade school, he was found to have a high IQ, and his parents began grooming him to become a lawyer or senator. Fearing that his family would move again, he willingly decided to attend the Shattuck School in Faribault, Minnesota. He received a score of 1170 when he took the SAT in January 1962. His family soon moved to Houston, Texas. </p></div><div class="ujudUb"> In 1962, he enrolled at the University of Colorado Boulder, wrote poetry, and listened to records by Lightnin' Hopkins and Hank Williams.
In the spring of his second year, his parents flew to Boulder to bring

Van Zandt, an influential songwriter whose dark and tragic country and
folk ballads mirrored his own life, died on Wednesday at his home in
Smyrna, Tex. He was 52," according the New York Times obit on January 3, 1997.<br /></p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">"The cause was
apparently a heart attack, said Beverly Paul, a spokeswoman for Sugar
Hill, the music label for which he recorded. Mr. Van Zandt broke his hip
last week and had just returned home after undergoing surgery, she
said.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">"Mr. Van Zandt's powerfully
written songs and spare, haunting delivery influenced many country, folk
and rock performers, including Neil Young, Rosanne Cash, Emmylou
Harris, Steve Earle, the Cowboy Junkies and the grunge band Mudhoney.
Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard topped the country charts in 1983 with a
version of Mr. Van Zandt's song ''Pancho and Lefty.'' But Mr. Van Zandt
never achieved mainstream success himself, in part because of his
proclivity for living out his songs of drinking, gambling, rambling and
depression.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">''All that I've said/All
that I've done/Means nothing to me,'' he sang on his most recent album,
''No Deeper Blue.'' ''I'd as soon be dead/All of this world be
forgotten.''</p></div><aside aria-label="companion column" class="css-ew4tgv"></aside></div><div><div class="css-8atqhb"></div></div><div class="css-s99gbd StoryBodyCompanionColumn"><div class="css-53u6y8"><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">"Mr.
Van Zandt was born on March 7, 1944, in Fort Worth, into a wealthy oil
family that had been prominent in Texas for four generations. Van Zandt
County in West Texas was named for his forebears. He spent his childhood
moving around the country with his family, and many of his teen-age
years in a mental institution, diagnosed as a manic-depressive with
schizophrenic tendencies.</p><div></div><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">"Influenced
by the songs of Hank Williams, the guitar-playing of Lightnin' Hopkins
and the lyrics of Bob Dylan, as well as by Elvis Presley's success, he
moved to Houston in the early 1960's to try a career as a musician.
Eventually he became so poor that he ate dog food and slept on concert
stages. He tried to join the Air Force during the Vietnam War but was
rejected because of his psychiatric history.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">In
1968, Mr. Van Zandt moved to Nashville to record his first album, ''For
the Sake of the Song,'' with the producer and songwriter Jack Clement,
best known for his work with Johnny Cash. The album mixed humorous
barroom songs with the tales of poverty, desperation and bleakness
(''Waiting Round to Die,'' ''Tecumseh Valley'') that would make him,
along with Guy Clark, a beacon to a generation of songwriters.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">"He
had since recorded nearly a dozen records and toured virtually nonstop,
driven, his friends said, by inner demons that neither he nor they
could account for. Sometimes his performances, like his last show in New
York City, at the Bottom Line in 1995, movingly mixed minor-key
tear-jerkers with a fatalistic sense of humor. Sometimes his shows were
meandering, ending with him collapsing onstage.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">At
the time of his death, Mr. Van Zandt was working on a boxed set of his
music. He had assembled a group of well-known musicians including Willie
Nelson and Freddy Fender to record new versions of his songs.</p><p class="css-at9mc1 evys1bk0">Van Zandt was addicted to heroin
and alcohol throughout his adult life. At times, he became drunk on
stage and forgot the lyrics to his songs. At one point, his heroin habit
was so intense that he offered Kevin Eggers the publishing rights to
all of the songs on each of his first four albums for $20.At various points, his friends saw him shoot up not just heroin, but also cocaine, vodka, as well as a mixture of rum and Coke. On at least one occasion, he shot up heroin in the presence of his son J.T., who was only eight years old at the time, according to the Dallas Observer in 2002 in <span class="reference-text"><a class="external text" href="http://www.dallasobserver.com/2002-10-24/music/the-way-of-the-gun" rel="nofollow">"The Way of the Gun – Living up to his famous father is a tall order for J.T. Van Zandt"</a></span></p></div>"Some of the best golden-era Colorado anthems came from the late
Townes Van Zandt, whose spare, largely acoustic recordings have only
recently built a sizable national following," writes Steven Rozen in his blog about the "Golden Age of Colorado songs."<br /><p>"He was a Texas troubadour
and Colorado devotee whose introspective, often-pining compositions like
“If I Needed You” and “Waiting Round to Die” serve as the archetype for
today’s Americana (or alternative-country) music.</p><p>"Earle — today a bard of contemporary Americana himself —
released a tribute album called “Townes.” On it, Earle covers Van
Zandt’s 1969 “Colorado Girl.” Van Zandt briefly attended the University
of Colorado at Boulder in the 1960s, and during the 1970s he spent
summers in the state, writing such other songs about it as “Snowin’ on
Raton,” “Our Mother the Mountain” and “My Proud Mountains.”</p>
<p>“Townes used to say there are two kinds of music — blues and zip-a-
dee-doo-dah, and a lot of songs written about Colorado tend to be
zip-a-dee-doo-dah,” Earle says. “But Townes’ stuff is not that.”</p></div></div>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-7234644322635573422024-03-08T09:31:00.000-08:002024-03-08T09:59:54.874-08:00Face on the floor story appears all over state and country<p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_cm5Yj9dGWguBz6o97mVH_Q9N9-IUqDdinnXUEvI-EDyKTjQfVQ7HS-hHjizxKOnVo0ve-5gRSmXEO2qpwNeLChc74vQ5xaxYqiXm4g-8-Mns4tEdQZLBpRNqO81Z2XcPup3DxGeLDtvhD3dd-EFpl2nNVFhlRYlyuokIfzfCZN2vou6RZAmLbTmqOW6L/s1000/default-13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="792" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_cm5Yj9dGWguBz6o97mVH_Q9N9-IUqDdinnXUEvI-EDyKTjQfVQ7HS-hHjizxKOnVo0ve-5gRSmXEO2qpwNeLChc74vQ5xaxYqiXm4g-8-Mns4tEdQZLBpRNqO81Z2XcPup3DxGeLDtvhD3dd-EFpl2nNVFhlRYlyuokIfzfCZN2vou6RZAmLbTmqOW6L/s320/default-13.jpg" width="253" /></a></b></div><b><br />By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com</b><p></p><p>Like many good Colorado stories, <b><i>"The Face on the Barroom Floor" </i></b>paints a beautiful picture of a snap shot in time, and gets told over and over again, until no one is really sure who told it first. All that is remembered then, and remains — is to point out the very best, or a favorite version of such a story.</p><p>It is true in the case of Herndon Davis' painting on the floor of Tabor House Bar, near the Central City Opera House. Other versions of the story pop up around the state, and indeed, the whole country. <br /></p><p>Davis had been commissioned by the Central City Opera Association to paint a series of paintings for the Central City Opera House;
he was also requested to do some work at the Teller House. One
afternoon at the bar he became embroiled in a heated argument with Ann
Evans, the project director, about the manner in which his work should
be executed. The upshot of the fight was that Davis was told to quit,
or else he would be fired.
</p><p>According to one version of the story, the painting was the suggestion of a busboy
named Joe Libby; knowing that Davis would soon be fired, he suggested
that the artist "give them something to remember him by."

<p></p>
<blockquote>
<p>"The Central City Opera House Association hired me to do a series of
paintings and sketches of the famous mining town, which they were then
rejuvenating as an opera center and tourist attraction. I stayed at the
Teller House while working up there, and the whim struck me to paint a
face on the floor of the old Teller House barroom. In its mining boom
heyday it was just such a floor as the ragged artist used in d’Arcy's
famous old poem. But the hotel manager and the bartender would have none
of such tomfoolery. They refused me permission to paint the face. Still
the idea haunted me, and in my last night in Central City, I persuaded
the bellboy Jimmy Libby to give me a hand. After midnight, when the
coast was clear, we slipped down there. Jimmy held a candle for me and I
painted as fast as I could. Yet it was 3 AM when I finished."</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Whatever the inspiration, Davis did not sign his work, and soon the
bar's owners chose to capitalize on it. They advertised the painting as
that from the poem "The Face on the Barroom Floor" by Hugh Antoine D'Arcy.
The actual subject of the painting is Davis' wife, Edna Juanita
(Cotter) Davis "Nita." She lived with Herndon at 1323 Kalamath St, in Denver, Co
</p><p> "<i>The Herndon Davis Collection in our Western History and
Genealogy Department is one of our most prized treasures. Anyone dealing
with major characters and/or notable buildings in Colorado should check
into Davis’s portraits and paintings of notable sites. In some cases
Davis provides the only extant image of certain people and places. In
hundreds of colorful paintings and drawings he adds impressively to our
portrait gallery. The Denver Public Library is pleased to be a
collaborator on this overdue book on one of our most popular and
prolific artists</i>.”<br /><b>—James X. Kroll, Manager, Western History and Genealogy Department, Denver Public Library</b></p>
<div><p>Herndon Davis, an artist and journalist, dedicated his life to
depicting the major landmarks and personalities of Colorado in
watercolor, oil, and pen and pencil. Best known for the <i>Face on the Barroom Floor</i>,
the portrait of an alluring woman on the floor of the Teller House
Hotel barroom in Central City, Colorado, Davis was a prolific artist
whose murals, sketches, and portraits can be found all over the state,
from the Sage Room of the Oxford Hotel on Seventeenth Street to the
Denver Press Club poker room. Despite his numerous contributions, his
work was never showcased or exhibited in the traditional manner.</p>
<p>In this biography and first-ever collection featuring most of his
life’s work, authors Craig Leavitt and Thomas J. Noel provide a detailed
look into Davis’s life and career and include a catalog of almost 200
photographs of his work from Colorado and around the country. They also
put his work into the broader context of the time through comparison
with such contemporary Colorado artists as Muriel Sibell Wolle, Allen
Tupper True, Charles Waldo Love, and Juan Menchaca.</p>
<p>Published to coincide with the Denver Public Library’s 2016
exhibition—the only public display of Davis’s work to date—and bringing
deserved attention to this overlooked figure, <i>Herndon Davis: Painting Colorado History, 1901-1962</i> is an important contribution to Colorado’s cultural history.</p><p>Among my favorite Davis works of art however, is the Poker Room Mural at the Denver Press Club. When I worked next door, (we shared a rear parking lot between the two buildings at the time) at Colorado Press Association years ago, I tried to make it to the basement any time I was in the nearby building.<br /></p><p>"The Denver Press Club at 1330 Glenarm Place still treasures Davis’s work on its basement poker room walls," writes Craig Leavitt and Thomas J. Noel in <b><i>Herndon Davis: Painting Colorado History, 1901-1962. </i></b></p><p>"That large mural depicts the 1940s Press Room of the Rocky Mountain News, a place Davis frequented and where he worked. Among the immortals whose heads Davis painted on the outer edges of the mural are longtime favorite Rocky Mountain News columnist Lew Casey (editor of the book Denver Murders) and News photographer Harry Rhoads (the most famous and ribald of the press photographers, whose work is preserved in a biography and in the Western History and Genealogy Department of the Denver Public Library). On that same Denver Press Club mural, look for Gene Fowler, the Denver Post reporter who graduated to the big time and national fame in New York City. Among Fowler’s many books is one of the liveliest accounts in Denver literature, Timberline: A Story of Bonfils and Tammen. More than just a history of the founders of the Denver Post, this is a colorful, if not always factual, history of Colorado. It portrays in print the wild, funny, vividly colorful good old days that much of Herndon Davis’s work captures. Presumably, the Denver Press Club Davis murals are safe. That fortress claims to be the oldest continuous surviving press club in America and is a designated Denver landmark. And its inner sanctum’s most treasured relic is the Herndon Davis mural."</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXGRnnPPU_XOt45AyPyqZFfp5hd3UccQ4nBFqDvWRDSTLJ9uSP8WVLqdu-DWF3lkQKrVNBS12ioIHOtB496EopliKLumX2QiO08sJSzDE8T0Wlg7ggYe8gNZrxjSEGFoEkl0w9v_YuPZ87ZM0vrMtUc3olvmBXnWCwZBCM_ev70I-OB1h71Pa9AaWbfG8/s350/pressclubbanner.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="250" data-original-width="350" height="229" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXXGRnnPPU_XOt45AyPyqZFfp5hd3UccQ4nBFqDvWRDSTLJ9uSP8WVLqdu-DWF3lkQKrVNBS12ioIHOtB496EopliKLumX2QiO08sJSzDE8T0Wlg7ggYe8gNZrxjSEGFoEkl0w9v_YuPZ87ZM0vrMtUc3olvmBXnWCwZBCM_ev70I-OB1h71Pa9AaWbfG8/s320/pressclubbanner.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> </div><div>The original poem was written by the poet John Henry Titus in 1872. </div><div>A later version was adapted from the Titus poem by Hugh Antoine d'Arcy in 1887 and first published in the <i>New York Dispatch</i>.

<dl><dd><i>“Where did it come from?” someone said, “The wind has blown it in.”</i></dd><dd><i>“What does it want?” another cried, “Some whiskey, rum or gin?”</i></dd><dd><i>“Here Toby, sic him, if your stomach is equal to the work —</i></dd><dd><i>I wouldn't touch him with a fork, he’s as filthy as a Turk.”</i></dd></dl>
<dl><dd><i>This badinage the poor wretch took with stoical good grace;</i></dd><dd><i>In fact, he smiled as though he thought he'd struck the proper place.</i></dd><dd><i>“Come boys, I know there's kindly heart among so good a crowd —</i></dd><dd><i>To be in such good company would make a deacon proud.”</i></dd></dl>
<dl><dd><i>“Give me a drink — that’s what I want — I'm out of funds you know;</i></dd><dd><i>When I had cash to treat the gang, this hand was never slow.</i></dd><dd><i>What? You laugh as though you thought this pocket never held a sou:</i></dd><dd><i>I once was fixed as well my boys, as anyone of you.”</i></dd></dl>
<dl><dd><i>“There thanks, that’s braced me nicely; God Bless you one and all;</i></dd><dd><i>Next time I pass this good saloon, I'll make another call.</i></dd><dd><i>Give you a song?

<dl><dd><i>“You’ve treated me pretty kindly, and I'd like to tell you how</i></dd><dd><i>I came to be the dirty sot, you see before you now.</i></dd><dd><i>As I told you once, was a man with muscle, frame and health,</i></dd><dd><i>And, but for a blunder, ought to have made considerable wealth.</i></dd></dl>
<dl><dd><i>“I was a painter — not one that daubed on bricks or wood,</i></dd><dd><i>But an artist, and for my age I was rated pretty good,</i></dd><dd><i>I worked hard at my canvas and was bidding fair to rise,</i></dd><dd><i>For gradually I saw the star of fame before my eyes.</i></dd></dl>
<dl><dd><i>“I made a picture, perhaps you've seen, 'tis called the 'Chase of Fame.'</i></dd><dd><i>It brought me fifteen hundred pounds and added to my name.</i></dd><dd><i>And then I met a woman — now comes the funny part —</i></dd><dd><i>With eyes that petrified my brain, and sunk into my heart.</i></dd></dl>

That is not exactly what you think, however.<br />
I remember things as images, and quotes, and snap shots of time.<br />
Sometimes that memory is accurate. Other times, not so much.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> </div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> Depends on which lens I see things through. What chemistry I use to
process. Focus, and lighting, camera and enlarger, paper and vacuum
board, resolution and file storage, pixel depth and display material,
image software, exposure time, and color saturation. And about a million
other variables.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
For as long as I can remember, I have looked at the world that way.<br />
My first trip to an emergency room was the result of sticking my thumb
through a blown Speed Graphic flash bulb. I have photographed probably
everything from space shuttles and U.S. presidents, to pets of the week
and my own thumb.<br />
I love the old photographs and the new ones. Positive and negative. Color and black and white. Big cameras and small.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
I think the smallest camera I have ever operated was one of those
microscopic surgical jobs they sometimes check your heart valves with,
and the largest — was a process camera for shooting newspaper page negs
and had a room of its own, and was on rails.<br />
Cameras are my best friends.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
Yes, I have favorites. But they might not be what you think.<br />
An old two and quarter, two and quarter, Dualflex III Kodak with a Kodet
lens, (amazing depth of field), the range of Speed Graphics, a Nikon FG
35 mm I bought in J-school, a Kodak Easy Share 195 14 megapixel with 5 x
Aspheric lens ($60), Canon EOS 60 D (I shoot most stuff with now) and
the first camera I probably ever snapped, a Spartucus "35 F" 400.<br />
Some of my best friends and heroes are behind cameras.<br />Hector, Pleasants, Oguz Nayman, Jimmy, Perry, Ansel, Jackson, Yousuf, Capa, Dorthea, Ulesman, Gyula, Liebovitz, Duffy, Cartier-Bresson, Maisel, Poley, Chione. </div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"> </div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">My enemies take photos, and try to capture my soul.<div class="google-auto-placed ap_container" style="clear: both; height: auto; text-align: center; width: 100%;"><ins class="adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate" data-ad-client="ca-pub-8867467579293965" data-ad-format="auto" data-ad-status="filled" data-adsbygoogle-status="done" style="background-color: transparent; display: block; height: 280px; margin: auto;"><div aria-label="Advertisement" id="aswift_7_host" style="background-color: transparent; border: medium; display: inline-block; height: 280px; margin: 0px; overflow: visible; padding: 0px; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 410px;" tabindex="0" title="Advertisement"></div></ins></div>Eidetic memory is the ability to recall images in great detail for
several minutes. It is found in early childhood (between 2% and 10% of
that age group) and is unconnected with the person's intelligence level.
The ability usually begins to fade after the age of six years, perhaps
as growing verbal skills alter the memory process.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
Perhaps I have never progressed beyond that six years, but some of my most vivid images are nearly 60 years old now.<br />
"It is difficult to disentangle memory abilities that appear early from
those cultivated through interest and training. Most people who have
exhibited truly extraordinary memories in some domain have seemed to
possess them all their lives and honed them further through practice,"
says Barry Gordon, a professor of neurology and cognitive science at the
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, in a recent Scientific
American article.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
Regardless, I need to keep up my image.</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />
“I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I
will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact
anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I
shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate,” wrote Charlotte
Bronte in "Jane Eyre."</div><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a"><br />

That was a very early lesson lesson for me. I have made some very bad photos over the years, and seen many more, that are perhaps <span><span>regarded as something held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness. Photos, and other things, are like that.</span></span></p><p><span><span>I saw some bad photos </span></span><span><span>(technically) </span></span><span><span>in the old meat locker in the Exon building in Dolores years ago, with its old cross-slat, herring-bone patterned door on it, and its general utility – repurposed as newspaper and printing company dark room. But through etching magic, and light and shadow, and understanding ... the image appears. Placed on wood cut, and eventually ready in the paper.</span></span></p><p><span><span>More bad photos in the hidden dark room up the steps, high in Dolores High School Gym. Black and White, emergent from the D-76 in the trays, like new-found confidence ready for the Bear Tales annual.</span></span></p><p><span><span>Again, ordinarily, only passable images on the vacuum board in dark rooms of Wyoming peek up off the photo paper at me, with value and interest, worth and usefulness. I clip and hang the negatives using Japan dryer to hurry them along, knowing that they will be just great for this week's paper.</span></span></p><p>From under the basket at each end of the court, Jimmie McDaniels used a Speed Graphic 3.25" x 4.25" with only eight frames per role. Photographers had to be conservative and anticipate when the action was about to take place to take the right picture. The cry, "Just one more!" if a shot was missed was common. President Harry Truman introduced the White House photographers as the "Just One More Club."</p><p>"Your first 1,000 photographs are your worst," noted Henri Cartier-Bresson.</p><p>Andy Warhol said, "The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do." The worst thing is that it never changes, even when the people do.<br /></p><p>Later, fabulous dark rooms with top shelf equipment ... process cameras, PMT machines, enlargers, pattern screens, dark bags, stainless steel tanks and reels, light boxes, sinks, dodges, loupes, redlight and more, more, more ... and on to digital.<br /></p><p>Photos, some that are even less than perfect – technically – deserve a certain measure of respect. Images: good ones and bad ones can make an impression.</p><p>###</p><p> <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC4GwZxZKhyHHjyYl3flqZzxiSlKtapjiW_Cc3m05vUrlJN54TclCDz3tNC_UbKw9zjvqZ5Hk1KETZFCC1e9pIoN9lu8hfvTSRv9L_2EcKWq4C51FfB_3PUh6Q92_YN6OTW71GtiLqUTl8JYHm-e1P3Tk5TovlHYZgoFw1N3uy97EhlwVgJyeIBf7-Zn2P/s500/default-25.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="340" data-original-width="500" height="218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC4GwZxZKhyHHjyYl3flqZzxiSlKtapjiW_Cc3m05vUrlJN54TclCDz3tNC_UbKw9zjvqZ5Hk1KETZFCC1e9pIoN9lu8hfvTSRv9L_2EcKWq4C51FfB_3PUh6Q92_YN6OTW71GtiLqUTl8JYHm-e1P3Tk5TovlHYZgoFw1N3uy97EhlwVgJyeIBf7-Zn2P/s320/default-25.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><b><i>Thing of the past ...</i></b><div dir="auto"><div class="x1iorvi4 x1pi30zi x1l90r2v x1swvt13" data-ad-comet-preview="message" data-ad-preview="message" id=":r2o:"><div class="x78zum5 xdt5ytf xz62fqu x16ldp7u"><div class="xu06os2 x1ok221b"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x1lliihq x1s928wv xhkezso x1gmr53x x1cpjm7i x1fgarty x1943h6x xudqn12 x3x7a5m x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u x1yc453h" dir="auto"><div class="xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs x126k92a"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Dolores</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Creator: Mollette, Rex.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Date: [1920-1930]</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">Two cars with four people in each drive down an unpaved street in the town of Dolores, Colorado, in Montezuma County.

While its construction in 1952 makes it a late example of a Pennsylvania truss, it was the only one of its type identified by the statewide historic bridge inventory. Pennsylvania truss bridges were pioneered by the Pennsylvania Railroad and commonly built as rail bridges and road bridges from 1875 through the early twentieth century.</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> - Unprocessed Field note material exists for this structure: N1803</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> - Survey number: HAER CO-102</div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> - Building/structure dates: 1952 Initial Construction</div></div></span></div></div></div></div><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":rq3:"><div class="x1n2onr6"></div></div><div><div class="x1n2onr6" id=":rq3:"><div class="x6ikm8r x10wlt62"></div></div></div><div><div class="x168nmei x13lgxp2 x30kzoy x9jhf4c x6ikm8r x10wlt62" data-visualcompletion="ignore-dynamic"><div><div><div><div class="x1n2onr6"><div class="x6s0dn4 xi81zsa x78zum5 x6prxxf x13a6bvl xvq8zen xdj266r xktsk01 xat24cr x1d52u69 x889kno x4uap5 x1a8lsjc xkhd6sd xdppsyt"><div class="x6s0dn4 x78zum5 x1iyjqo2 x6ikm8r x10wlt62"><span aria-label="See who reacted to this" class="x1ja2u2z" role="toolbar"><span class="x6s0dn4 x78zum5 x1e558r4" id=":rq5:"><span class="x6zyg47 x1xm1mqw xpn8fn3 xtct9fg x13zp6kq x1mcfq15 xrosliz x1wb7cse x13fuv20 xu3j5b3 x1q0q8m5 x26u7qi xamhcws xol2nv xlxy82 x19p7ews xmix8c7 x139jcc6 x1n2onr6 x1xp8n7a xhtitgo"><span class="x12myldv x1udsgas xrc8dwe xxxhv2y x1rg5ohu xmix8c7 x1xp8n7a"><span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j"></span></span></span></span></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div><span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j"></span></div><div class="x1c4vz4f x2lah0s xci0xqf"></div><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 x2lah0s x1qughib x1qjc9v5 xozqiw3 x1q0g3np xykv574 xbmpl8g x4cne27 xifccgj"><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x2lah0s x193iq5w xeuugli xsyo7zv x16hj40l x10b6aqq x1yrsyyn"></div><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x2lah0s x193iq5w xeuugli xsyo7zv x16hj40l x10b6aqq x1yrsyyn"><span class="x4k7w5x x1h91t0o x1h9r5lt x1jfb8zj xv2umb2 x1beo9mf xaigb6o x12ejxvf x3igimt xarpa2k xedcshv x1lytzrv x1t2pt76 x7ja8zs x1qrby5j"></span></div></div><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 x2lah0s x1qughib x1qjc9v5 xozqiw3 x1q0g3np x150jy0e x1e558r4 xjkvuk6 x1iorvi4 xwrv7xz x8182xy x4cne27 xifccgj"><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x193iq5w xeuugli x1r8uery x1iyjqo2 xs83m0k xg83lxy x1h0ha7o x10b6aqq x1yrsyyn"></div></div><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x193iq5w xeuugli x1r8uery x1iyjqo2 xs83m0k xg83lxy x1h0ha7o x10b6aqq x1yrsyyn"></div><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x193iq5w xeuugli x1r8uery x1iyjqo2 xs83m0k xg83lxy x1h0ha7o x10b6aqq x1yrsyyn"></div><div class="x8cjs6t x1ch86jh x80vd3b xckqwgs x1ejq31n xu3j5b3 x1q0q8m5 x26u7qi x178xt8z xm81vs4 xso031l xy80clv x1d52u69 xktsk01"></div><div class="x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x9f619 x78zum5 xdt5ytf x2lah0s x193iq5w x1xmf6yo x1e56ztr"><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x1iyjqo2 x2lwn1j"><div class="x9f619 x1n2onr6 x1ja2u2z x78zum5 xdt5ytf x2lah0s x193iq5w x1swvt13 x1pi30zi"><div><div><div class="x78zum5 x1q0g3np x1a2a7pz"><div class="xqcrz7y x14yjl9h xudhj91 x18nykt9 xww2gxu x1lliihq x1w0mnb xr9ek0c x1n2onr6"></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><form class="x1ed109x x1n2onr6 xmjcpbm x1tlxs6b x1g8br2z x1gn5b1j x230xth x972fbf xcfux6l x1qhh985 xm0m39n x78zum5 x1iyjqo2 x13a6bvl" role="presentation"><div class="xh8yej3"><div class="x78zum5 x13a6bvl"><div class="xi81zsa xo1l8bm xlyipyv xuxw1ft x49crj4 x1ed109x xdl72j9 x1iyjqo2 xs83m0k x6prxxf x6ikm8r x10wlt62 x1y1aw1k xn6708d xwib8y2 x1ye3gou" data-visualcompletion="ignore"><div class="x1n2onr6"><div aria-label="Write a comment…" class="xzsf02u x1a2a7pz x1n2onr6 x14wi4xw notranslate" contenteditable="true" data-lexical-editor="true" role="textbox" spellcheck="true" style="user-select: text;

The Selig Polyscope Company, which had opened a Denver office ten years
prior, shot more than 40 films during 1911 and 1912 in the Canon City
area. Looking for more cooperative weather, Selig moved most of the
operation to Prescott, Arizona, and eventually to the Los Angeles area
(Hollywood). The Colorado Motion Picture Company which followed Selig into Canon City in
1914, but when their lead actress (and a cameraman) drowned in the river
while she was performing her own stunts, that company dissolved shortly
afterward.</p><p>"Grace McHugh what we would call a modern exciting woman. She was born ito the theatrical profession – her mother being a soubrette with a theater company – and made her first appearance on stage at the age of three. But she also could count as her achievements the skills of an expert horsewoman, accomplished swimmer and pioneering aviator. She had already traveled extensively around the United States, Canada and Mexico when at the age of 25, she thought she might dabble a bit in the glamorous world of the "the pictures." It would prove to be a tragic decision," as noted by Micheal J. Spencer, in his 2013 book "Hollywood of the Rockies."</p><p>"Miss Grace McHugh, of Golden, niece of Judge and Mrs. C. S. Staples, was drowned In the Arkansas river at Canon City
yesterday afternoon, according to a message received from Canon City
last night . The accident occurred at 1 o clock, and up to the time of
going to press her body had not been recovered.</p><p dir="auto">"Miss
McHugh has been leading lady for the Colorado Motion Picture company,
and left Golden about three weeks ago to join the company. The accident
occurred while Miss McHugh and Owen Carter, a camera man, were
engaged in making a scene in a picture entitled 'Across the Border ' She
was fording the stream in a boat , and suddenly the watchers saw the
boat capsized and Miss McHugh was plunged into the swollen stream.
Carter, without hesitation, plunged into the river and succeeded in
getting Miss McHugh to a sandbar. They appeared to tie safe, when
suddenly both sank from view, and it is believed they were sucked down
by quicksand. The news of the tragic death of Miss McHugh will come as
a great shock to her many friends in Golden. She had made this city
her home for a year or so. She was an exceptionally charming and
talented young lady. She was about 26 years of age," said the Golden Transcript, July 2 edition of 1914.</p><p>"It wasn’t supposed to be a dramatic scene. For a movie depicting gun
smuggling at the U.S. border with Mexico, this sequence simply was to
show a bandit’s daughter crossing the Rio Grande on horseback," according to information from Carnegie Hero Fund Commission<br /></p>
<p>"On a bank of a shallow section of the Arkansas River in Cañon City, Colo., which was subbing for the Rio Grande, Owen Carter
manned a camera for “Across the Border,” an ambitious production of the
Colorado Motion Picture Co. Wearing a cowgirl’s outfit and boots, Grace
Forman – known professionally as Grace McHugh – rode into the river
that shortly would take her life. Carter lost his own trying to save
hers."</p>
<p>Rumors of a publicity ruse initially marred some of the early details
about Carter’s heroic rescue attempt on July 1, 1914, perhaps because
several days passed before anyone located their bodies, apart, far
downstream. Crew members themselves later explained they couldn’t quite
comprehend how both Forman, 24, and Carter, 29, struggled in water that
appeared to be no deeper than their waists, but they marveled at
Carter’s effort.</p>
<p>In particular, director Otis B. Thayer insisted that Carter swam out
to help McHugh “of his own free will and without any suggestion from
myself or anyone else.”</p>
<p>“I am free to say that I never saw greater heroism displayed by
anyone than was displayed by Mr. Carter in this instance,” Thayer wrote
to the Hero Fund one month after the incident. “He was taking his life
in his hands in attempting to go across the swift current of the river,
and it certainly looked to me when I saw him last that he would succeed
in making the rescue, but unfortunately he lost his life in his effort.”</p>
<p>"The deaths were a stunning turn, especially given that the scene was
being re-filmed because the previous version was damaged in the
development process, according to author Michael J. Spencer’s book
Hollywood of the Rockies: Colorado, The West and America’s Film
Pioneers. “Across the Border” was the first film for Forman, who was 5
feet, 3 inches tall and weighed about 115 pounds."</p>
<p>Per accounts witnesses later provided to the Hero Fund, Forman rode
into the river at a point where it was about 125 feet wide and about 3.5
feet deep. She was about 30 feet out when the horse stumbled and she
fell into the water. An actor on horseback rode into the river to her
and she grasped his hand, but they separated and she drifted downstream.</p>
<p>"Carter, who previously worked as a harness maker, was considered a
good swimmer and was about 8 inches taller and 50 pounds heavier than
Forman. He entered the river and swam about 320 feet to Forman. Soon,
they disappeared and drowned. Carter’s body was found five days later,
more than a mile from the scene, while Forman’s body was missing until
12 days later, nine miles from the scene," according to movie company
officials.</p><p> According to a history in the Pueblo Chieftain, by Tracy Harmon:<br /></p><p>"It was the July 1, 1914, filming of "Across the Border" that would lead
to Canon City's most tragic movie moment. Film crews were staging a
scene just west of town that involved two actors making a dash across
the Arkansas River on horseback, according to July 2, 1914, newspaper
accounts. Actor Johnny Keough crossed first successfully and Grace
McHugh was following when her horse stumbled. She grabbed the reigns,
her horse reared and threw her into the river. "Mr. Keough at once rode
into the water. She grabbed his hands so that he could do nothing and in
his effort to break her hold so that he could grab her, the force of
the water swept her away downstream," according to the July 2, 1914,
Fremont County Leader. Cameraman Owen Carter tried to rescue McHugh but
both were swallowed by the rapid moving river. At first, residents
doubted the two were really dead, believing the moviemakers were just
garnering attention for the film. Carter's body was found one week
later. According to the July 9, 1914, Fremont County Leader, "No trace
has yet been found of the body of Miss McHugh which may not be recovered
for months and maybe not at all for the Arkansas is reluctant in giving
up its victims." Finally, McHugh's body was located after 13 days,
"After the deplorable disaster two miles below Florence. She was
identified by clothing, riding boots and spurs," the Leader reported. It
was the last film to be made by Thayer's company. "Being in the movies
was a dangerous occupation because they did all their own stunts,"
Cochran said. "The newspapers of that time were filled with articles
about actors being thrown from horses and all sorts of accidents that
happened during filming." </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt2AEuIl2kjWgFEU3JaNhe5ydx4MojIrpJXSz4sDwe1uRfRhFPOTi1bpxlym5DQFzhPUfPkDYmRJ_LaPnHZanhH9TrTOD4Ws9R1Zn9PHMI67vZtXMfadMWCsUqodYxKRq-Lh4XbH_cqmICS72ylGFNoanGRsf5G5Yw3BE1j-n7EOAfDUR27dNh3l7_sLJP/s800/grace-mchugh.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="519" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt2AEuIl2kjWgFEU3JaNhe5ydx4MojIrpJXSz4sDwe1uRfRhFPOTi1bpxlym5DQFzhPUfPkDYmRJ_LaPnHZanhH9TrTOD4Ws9R1Zn9PHMI67vZtXMfadMWCsUqodYxKRq-Lh4XbH_cqmICS72ylGFNoanGRsf5G5Yw3BE1j-n7EOAfDUR27dNh3l7_sLJP/s320/grace-mchugh.jpg" width="208" /></a></div><p><i>Grace McHugh's photo on a Colorado Motion Picture Company postcard. </i><b><i>Royal Gorge Regional Museum and History Center.</i></b><br /></p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-7443861552634710252024-02-01T05:56:00.000-08:002024-02-01T05:56:25.163-08:00"Good Ol' Days" weren't so good <h2 style="text-align: left;"><b><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2L49NqcQOVBIsbxyavkSneh8-si6crW918Ym5E_jNelVxKyXoBpq61cn4gQPrBtR0AR3bk-pvB8pGGgY5gJ5bm0FsS2inuWwM8vikAXxXWOu-XgrRufwC133ucirmxkDbtC2MPQnzJG_nMuiLjB5PcwX69mjdPeX2XljKpzZOtRTw6sI-Z40YoM-WWGy/s515/Governor_Earl_Long.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="515" data-original-width="440" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr2L49NqcQOVBIsbxyavkSneh8-si6crW918Ym5E_jNelVxKyXoBpq61cn4gQPrBtR0AR3bk-pvB8pGGgY5gJ5bm0FsS2inuWwM8vikAXxXWOu-XgrRufwC133ucirmxkDbtC2MPQnzJG_nMuiLjB5PcwX69mjdPeX2XljKpzZOtRTw6sI-Z40YoM-WWGy/s320/Governor_Earl_Long.jpg" width="273" /></a></div></b></h2><div style="text-align: left;"><b> Governor Earl Long</b><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>Name calling, political attacks, misinformation<i><br /></i></b></h2><p><b><i>By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com </i></b><br /></p><p> Had enough name calling, charges and counter charges, political attacks and misinformation? No, I didn’t think so. The following sound bytes and quotes from political seasons past and a few favorites from the "Good Ol' Days" should help you fill in the blanks. Point is, I guess politics has always brought out the rough stuff.<br /><br /> “The truth, which is what elections are all about, is that the tax burden of the middle class has gone up while the tax burden of the middle class has gone down.” – John Kerry, quoted by the Associated Press, Aug. 25, 2001. <br /><br /> “I’m hopeful. I know there is a lot of ambition in Washington, obviously. But I hope the ambitious realize that they are more likely to succeed with success as opposed to failure.” – George W. Bush, January 2001 <br /><br /> “I’ve coined new words, like, misunderstanding and Hispanically.” – George W. Bush, speaking at the Radio and Television Correspondents dinner, March 29, 2001 <br /><br />“Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.” – Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld <br /><br /> When Rep. Scott McInnis (R-Colo.) told Rep. Peter Stark (D-Calif.) to “shut up” amid a dispute over legislation, Stark had this to say: “You think you are big enough to make me, you little wimp? Come on, come over here and make me, I dare you …You little fruitcake. You little fruitcake. I said you are a fruitcake.” <br /><br /> “I’m not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president.” – Hilary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents. <br /><br /> “That lowdown scoundrel deserves to be kicked to death by a jackass, and I’m just the one to do it.” – Democratic congressional candidate in Texas. <br /><br /> “We are ready for an unforeseen event that may or may not occur.” – former Vice President Al Gore <br /><br /> “I love California. I practically grew up in Phoenix.” – former Vice President Dan Quayle <br /> </p><p>“If we don’t succeed, we run the risk of failure.” – former President Bill Clinton <br /><br /> “It isn’t pollution that is harming the environment. It’s the impurities in our air and water that are doing it.” – former Vice President Al Gore <br /><br /> Plus one of my favorites: <br /><br /> “Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country.” – former Mayor Marion Barry, Washington, D.C. <br /><br /> But perhaps my all-time favorite political quote gets to the very essence of politics. <br /><br /> When Earl Long swept an election in Louisiana and his opponent cried foul when he received only three votes in an entire parish, observing that he had more than three personal friends in that parish; old Earl opined, “That’s politics for you. One day you got friends, the next day you ain’t.”</p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-80710297865457387182024-01-28T07:25:00.000-08:002024-01-28T07:25:47.576-08:00Irish Gypsy wagon latest in long line of projects<p><i>I wrote this story about one man's compulsion to build interesting things for the April 1 edition of Courier-View back in 2014. </i><b><i><br /></i></b></p><p><b><i></i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKexknZK6s1Zur0i4piE-1pAg93qB0uyCW3BICC3btC3h3WgVtj-nyWKbjpEIVSvN0ErXvFWz4B18aqD3gjQm-H0lrosqlfDCl0_ooHAFhE63RRs_IRDchQYDABVZEP9i38PivmennqeEP13O7Ge53cCLnahQZ0AZ14sqK5aB689VFkfn-vgN8W2-QKMo5/s475/1396387238_98a4.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="475" data-original-width="316" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKexknZK6s1Zur0i4piE-1pAg93qB0uyCW3BICC3btC3h3WgVtj-nyWKbjpEIVSvN0ErXvFWz4B18aqD3gjQm-H0lrosqlfDCl0_ooHAFhE63RRs_IRDchQYDABVZEP9i38PivmennqeEP13O7Ge53cCLnahQZ0AZ14sqK5aB689VFkfn-vgN8W2-QKMo5/s320/1396387238_98a4.webp" width="213" /></a></i></b></div><b><i><br />By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com </i></b><br /><br />Herman Beeh, of Woodland Park, always liked Gypsy wagons, he says. And as with so many things that he likes, he decided to go ahead build one. That is also how he got the full-size castle in his back yard. <br /><br />For that matter, the beautiful log cabin and garage appeared the same way, over the years. His latest project, a replica of an Irish Gypsy wagon, was built over the last year, starting with nothing more than a photo that he pulled from the Internet. <p></p><p>Beeh did all the welding, and wood work, and most of the sheet metal work for the Gypsy wagon project, and even build the cast iron stove from scratch. But Beeh is used to building his own stuff from scratch. </p><p>He first began building his log cabin here in Woodland Park in 1975 from the foundation up, with the help of two high school kids. </p><p>He finished that project in 1978, and later added the garage and started the castle in the back yard beginning in 2003. </p><p>He finished the castle, complete with four-story, three-story and two-story turrets, wine cellar and medieval kitchen about a year ago. </p><p>Thus, the Gypsy wagon emerged as the new project to concentrate on. Beeh, a tool and die maker by trade, having worked for Hewlett Packard for more than 30 years, is able to build almost anything. </p><p>“When I told my wife I was going to build a castle, I think she thought it was going to be a smaller-scale version. I am from Europe and always wanted a castle. Everyone should have their own castle.” he said. </p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-18205251689135269332024-01-27T10:49:00.000-08:002024-01-27T10:49:49.274-08:00Stilllife and light helping us to see<p><i>“Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.”</i><br /> <b>– Dorothea Lange</b></p><p><i><b></b></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-M-fZwtwkoTXUc3uRbiG5Ec9f0CNPVDN-go374qBl_IYstOM4LLkFtQIiCoS-OuqVEcvN3BmL7Fws4gr8tzHnthet04PLxvijitQp9pyiMkoRrOw_r7LTEnyRhNUIzDgTW4drQT5DTHUc8ZOjCc8YZJMQJEO3VKxV3NS-wAQPvUMmNdoh5UetOTwst_wP/s5151/IMG_1289.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3201" data-original-width="5151" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-M-fZwtwkoTXUc3uRbiG5Ec9f0CNPVDN-go374qBl_IYstOM4LLkFtQIiCoS-OuqVEcvN3BmL7Fws4gr8tzHnthet04PLxvijitQp9pyiMkoRrOw_r7LTEnyRhNUIzDgTW4drQT5DTHUc8ZOjCc8YZJMQJEO3VKxV3NS-wAQPvUMmNdoh5UetOTwst_wP/s320/IMG_1289.JPG" width="320" /></a></b></i></div><i><b><br />By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com<br /></b></i><p></p><p>A photograph well done can capture a thought, a time, and a soul.

<p>Looking at the black-and-white image transported me back there to isolated northwestern Colorado in 1895. The three Shaw brothers lounge in hard backed chairs, rifles in hand; out in front of a rustic cabin as a deer carcass hangs from the crown beam in front of the door.</p>
<p></p>
<p>An alternately dark-and-light colored dog (its name could easily be Spot) rests in front of one of the gun-toting brothers, another white bulldog occupies its own chair, and a black cat independently and disinterestedly stares off into space in the corner. A buck saw, several pack frames and other miscellaneous tools hang from the outside of the cabin.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The three brothers all wear narrow-brimmed hats, suspenders and riding boots. The Shaw brothers’ homestead on the Williams Fork near Craig was part of the last area of the state to be settled. The relatively famous shot of my great, great uncles is not the only image in my mind that says Colorado.</p>
<p></p>
<p>A photographic comparison of the southwestern Colorado town of Dolores in 1893 and then again in 2000, in John Fielder’s popular coffee table book “Colorado: 1870-2000” shows the main street with many of the same buildings. Sometimes things don’t change much. The one building I note as missing, I can remember well the night it burned.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In our Monument office, several photos hang on the walls that I recognize as Bill Kezziah’s handiwork during his 19-year tenure here as editor and publisher of the Tribune. One of those, a photo of the Westcliffe School down in the southeastern part of the state caught the attention of a visitor recently. “Hey, I know where that is. I grew up near there.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>“Does it still look like that,” I asked.</p>
<p></p>
<p>“I have no idea. I haven’t been back there in 25 years, but that is how I remember it.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Maybe that is why it is important what pictures we take today.</p>

His son Earle is at the front window in the U. S. National Bank and could give you some history. His father first freighted by of teams across Rabbit Ears Pass in the early days of this section, later he ranched, ran a store, and banked. The event shown in the photo was a part of the filming of a picture, "The Wolves of Wall Street." The taller brick left was the famous old Hugus store, the small portion of brick is now a shoe shop.

In what is still called “Black Sunday” on the western slope, Exxon pulled the plug on its $5 billion Colony shale oil project in Garfield County and laid off over 2,200 workers on May 2, 1982.<br /><br /> <i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpo3Qj4BbxnmUUUXIBKBtuptIz07vY5eENUrcx4Tupr7RImDZHLbCAP8lh0Q086zSQcPJU_pPc5bK12D1uzUOa477ASdA12Mp0pVPTDqc-rMsvEXb9coeqXamym6XlUqW4v86BqJpspKZhz3Lzm67tjki3hzD9SUOazU_k6iqggoFnLpCgW-iBJtJqfa8/s709/default-21.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="709" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZpo3Qj4BbxnmUUUXIBKBtuptIz07vY5eENUrcx4Tupr7RImDZHLbCAP8lh0Q086zSQcPJU_pPc5bK12D1uzUOa477ASdA12Mp0pVPTDqc-rMsvEXb9coeqXamym6XlUqW4v86BqJpspKZhz3Lzm67tjki3hzD9SUOazU_k6iqggoFnLpCgW-iBJtJqfa8/s320/default-21.jpg" width="320" /></a></i></div><i><br />When oil prices plunged sharply, Exxon Corp. pulled the plug on its $5 billion Colony Oil Shale Project near Parachute, Colorado on a day that was called "Black Sunday," May 2, 1982. Others energy companies followed, leaving western Colorado's super-heated economy in a shambles. Many people, like the owner of this truck packed up and left Parachute on Monday May 3, 1982.<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> Steve Groer, Rocky Mountain News.</span></i><p></p><p>The town's name comes from Parachute Creek which runs through the township, before it merges with the Colorado River. The Ute people originally called the creek Pahchouc (meaning twins), with early settlers mispronouncing the word as parachute. In 1908 the town was renamed Grand Valley, but in the 1980s was changed back to Parachute. The population was 1,390 at the 2020 census. </p><p>Now, with oil prices over $75 per barrel and an estimated 1.5 to 1.8 trillion barrels lying around in Green River shale deposit that are mostly in Colorado, it seems sort of interesting again. Especially, given the fact that new technology may allow recovery at about $30 per barrel. <br /><br /> Shell was working on an in-situ process that involves drilling holes, inserting heaters and slowly extracting oil out ofthe rock at its Cathedral Bluffs property in Rio Blanco County in the early 2000s and had promising results but the Mahogany Oil Shale Project was abandoned by Shell in 2013 due to unfavorable project economics.</p><p>Of course, we have seen the boom before. With gold, with silver, with uranium, and even with oil and natural gas several times.</p><p>Colorado was the second state to produce oil commercially and has usually resided in the top 10 states in terms of production over the years, according to “Historical Atlas of Colorado” by Thomas J. Noel. <br /><br /> “Commercial use began when Alexander M. Cassidy developed an ‘oil spring’ near Florence in 1862,” writes Noel. “To exploit the Florence Field, Cassidy formed a firm that evolved into the Continental Oil Company, or CONOCO. Headquartered in Denver until the 1930s, CONOCO inadvertently erected the first Colorado Gas station in 1909 when two large hot-water boilers were put on a warehouse platform with gas to fuel autos.” <br /><br /> The Florence Field, a few miles south of us, continues to produce as it has for over a century. In 1901 rich fields were found near Boulder and Rangely. The Wellington Field near Fort Collins opened in the 1920s along with the Moffat Field south of Craig. Then in the 1970s, after the 1973 Arab oil embargo, domestic crude soared and made the first billions for well-known Colorado<br /> tycoons like Phillip Anschutz and Marvin Davis. <br /><br /> But as we know all too well, mineral prices travel both directions – up and down. In 1979, crude oil by the barrel was $42 and nearly everyone in the world saw its price going only upward, thus time for a $5 billion investment in “burning rocks” from the Green River basin. By 1983, oil prices had dropped like a stone to $9. <br /><br /> According to a story by Gargi Chakrabarty in the Sept. 21, 2005, Rocky Mountain News, “A year after Black Sunday, property foreclosures in Grand Junction and Mesa County were more than four times their 1980s numbers, and bankruptcies had doubled.” <br /><br /> Hillbilly dreams or not, it is something for us Coloradans to think about. As Mother Teresa once noted, “To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.” </p><p>But Colorado, with over 300 sunny days per year, has tremendous solar potential and was one of the first states in the U.S. to have a
Renewable Energy Standard. There are multiple solar programs in Colorado
for rooftop solar, community solar and utility-scale solar. </p><p>Currently about 8.24 percent of the state's electricity comes from solar sources ranking us 12th in the nation, but up from 25th in just 2022, and prices have fallen 42 percent in the last ten years on nearly $7 billion in solar investment. I know, prices go up and down. </p><p>But wouldn't it be nice for us local hillbillies to have energy drop out of the sky on us? Rather than waiting for it to come bubbling up out of the ground again. </p><p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><i><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"></span></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm1NTUO-sQntTUHb2Hv7ld77_jsGCdVHVr3luTKOUAigPP4-chExPMkd9aTK9ou0itYTLduD6m_AWmOVMP1spMwGHz5EhCLzdHQ_LmWGG4ueNsrFm-jUY3_qEv3jkovlMB6LN9UeG5ua700L8vBOrEbUQOriG5IEG4SMWHCY1zBSd7AP-66Gbly57NQ8MD/s500/default-13.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="365" data-original-width="500" height="234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm1NTUO-sQntTUHb2Hv7ld77_jsGCdVHVr3luTKOUAigPP4-chExPMkd9aTK9ou0itYTLduD6m_AWmOVMP1spMwGHz5EhCLzdHQ_LmWGG4ueNsrFm-jUY3_qEv3jkovlMB6LN9UeG5ua700L8vBOrEbUQOriG5IEG4SMWHCY1zBSd7AP-66Gbly57NQ8MD/s320/default-13.jpg" width="320" /></a></i></div><i><br />Parachute Creek valley<br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Parachute Creek valley in Garfield County, Colorado; a man is by a car; a cabin and Roan Cliff formations and oil shale deposits are in the distance, between 1910 and 1930.

His son Earle is at the front window in the U. S. National Bank and could give you some history. His father first freighted by of teams across Rabbit Ears Pass in the early days of this section, later he ranched, ran a store, and banked. The event shown in the photo was a part of the filming of a picture, "The Wolves of Wall Street." The taller brick left was the famous old Hugus store, the small portion of brick is now a shoe shop.

A good name (or a bad one) is forever. The
area known as “the Divide” has a historically strong name or reputation
for inclement Colorado weather.</p><p> May snowstorms commonly
serve as a reminder that at almost any time of year, we might be able
to expect frosty conditions.
Recall recent history with the blizzard of October of 1997 when nearly
300 people needed refuge from the storm and spent most of the weekend in
the Falcon Inn and the Monument Town Hall. </p><p>Rescue workers worked
non-stop for days and some nearby areas spent the next week digging out.
But it has carried that reputation for a long time. </p><p>Lee Whiteley’s excellent 1999 book, “The Cherokee Trail, Bent’s Old Fort
to Fort Bridger,” considers the unpredictability of weather here as it
related to early pioneers traveling the Cherokee Trail through “the
Pinery” or Black Forest as it is known today. </p><p>“Bad weather conditions were a real problem for trail travelers.
Although most of the travel through eastern Colorado was during the
spring and summer months, violent storms could occur at any time,” he
wrote. </p><p>As early as 1842, Rufus Sage noted the same problem. “The country
hearabouts … is much subject to storms of rain, hail, snow, and wind, —
and it is rarely a person can pass through it without being caught by a
storm of some kind.” </p><p>And get caught, they did.
Capt. Randolph B. Marcy’s expedition through the area in 1858 is a
well-known example. </p><p>“This is a locality which is very subject to severe storms, and it is
here that I encountered the most severe snow-storm that I have ever
known, on the first day of May, 1858. I would advise travelers to hasten
past this spot as rapidly as possible during the winter and spring
months, as a storm might prove very serious here,” Marcy wrote and
Whiteley include that account in his book. </p><p>“It was a mild and pleasant spring day, with no appearance of bad
weather, but as night approached it became cloudy, and about dark a snow
storm set in accompanied by a violent gale of wind from the north,
which increased until it became a perfect tempest, and continued without
cessation for 60 hours.” </p><p>Charles Michael Fagan, a muleskinner with that expedition, froze to
death in that storm trying to recover horses and mules spooked by the
severe weather. His grave on the trail at the base of Point of Rocks
became a landmark for generations that followed. </p><p>Fagan was not the only one to lose their life in a severe storm on “the Divide.” </p><p>Mrs. A.C. Hunt wrote the following on June 25, 1859 in her journal.
“Traveled 15 miles to a pine forest – very beautiful but sad from number
of graves here – 8 are in view of persons who have frozen to death, one
as late as June Third, ’59. The changes are so sudden even in the
summer that from being warm it will be so cold as to benumb the body
before fire can be made to warm it.” </p><p> </p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-19073749689051719092024-01-04T07:24:00.000-08:002024-01-04T07:24:45.153-08:00RGS Inspection Car #1 rolled into the Dolores River, in 1913<p><b><i></i></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SjN1OIf6mcy6NhpMam-_bdO5QiCiqlKp6MTyQ3XmBYpvIeN-YO_gUv5tIK3p9KtQzllZCmZUKL9cK-1uAnp_L-K6xPcmuU_PctUR5wArX1lv_LHo7wsgSycO0N8aQAv8kUmQsIf064uXqz4o16_knNsFwt8EVI24KnMlJIy2U__eWJThgTs-JmdOJXs8/s1500/smallLee,%20W.D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1103" data-original-width="1500" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6SjN1OIf6mcy6NhpMam-_bdO5QiCiqlKp6MTyQ3XmBYpvIeN-YO_gUv5tIK3p9KtQzllZCmZUKL9cK-1uAnp_L-K6xPcmuU_PctUR5wArX1lv_LHo7wsgSycO0N8aQAv8kUmQsIf064uXqz4o16_knNsFwt8EVI24KnMlJIy2U__eWJThgTs-JmdOJXs8/s320/smallLee,%20W.D.jpg" width="320" /></a></i></b></div><p></p><p><i>The original served as an

of financial difficulties, the Rio Grande Southern (RGS) Railroad
operated 162 miles of track between Ridgway and Durango from legendary
Otto Mear’s construction efforts, beginning in 1890, until they went
into receivership again and started pulling up track in 1953. </p><p>RGS built seven motors and one additional short-lived vehicle for the
San Christobal Railroad on the Denver & Rio Grande Western
(D&RGW) Lake City branch. The term “Motor” was officially used by
the RGS, although by 1944, the term “Galloping Goose” was used locally. </p><p>In early use, an out-of-control RGS Inspection Car #1 rolled into the
Dolores River, and according to the lore in 1913, Lee and his wife
jumped before it hit the water. Road Master J. C. Gilland didn’t, and
was seriously hurt. Mrs. Lee reportedly refused to ride in it after that
mishap, saying it bounced too much.</p><p>In 1925, it was wrecked again, this
time, beyond repair, and was scrapped. </p><p>Something larger and more powerful, anyway, was needed to provide
passenger, mail, and LCL (less than carload) freight services to these
remote mountain communities. </p><p>RGS hired auto mechanic Jack Odenbaugh for the Ridgway shop crew, and he
built Motor No. 1 from a 1925 Buick Model 45 touring car in early 1931.</p><p>It uses an extended frame, the front of the car body, and a stake bed.
Odenbough and his crew built two more motors in 1931. Motor No. 2 was
built from a Buick four-door sedan with an enclosed freight body behind
and Motor No. 3 from a Pierce-Arrow limousine. Motors 4, 5, and 7 were
built similarly to No. 3, and Motor No. 6 was a work motor built similar
to No. 1. </p><p>The RGS motors economically operated during World War II, repairing the
“Geese” with war surplus bus bodies from the Wayne Company of Richmond,
Indiana. </p><p>The bodies allowed more passengers and had doors on both sides
for entry, as some of the buses were built for use in right-hand-drive
England.
Larger passenger trains were used to attract additional tourists to the
scenic route, and the RGS finally began using the term “Galloping Goose”
in advertising for scenic tours in 1950-1951.</p><p> Books and articles about
them as early as 1947 had referred to these vehicles as “Galloping
Geese.” The Rocky Mountain Railroad Club began scheduling fan trips on
the Galloping Geese in 1946, and a number of fan trips were run with the
“geese.”
Unfortunately, too late to save the RGS, which again went into
receivership under J. Pierpont Fuller. </p><p>In late 1951, he decided the RGS
was in too rough shape to continue operation. Abandonment was approved
by the ICC in April 1952. The route was sold for scrap, and the line was
ripped up by June 1953, with Motor No. 6 pulling the last rails up at
Hesperus.
The ‘Galloping Geese,’ as well as some other locomotives and rolling
stock, survived the death of the RGS. </p><p>The Colorado Railroad Museum in
Golden acquired and restored No. 2, 6, and 7. Knott’s Berry Farm of
Buena Park, California, bought Motor No. 3 and operates it in the
amusement park, along with D&RGW 2-8-0 #340 and RGS 2-8-0 #41. </p><p>Motor
No. 4 is on display in Telluride. Motor No. 5, restored to operational
condition in 1998, is showcased at the depot-museum in Dolores. </p><p><span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 16pt;"> </span>Although not technically a Goose, the RGS Inspection Car #1, led to
development of the storied line.
According to Ridgeway Railroad Museum:</p><p>"The original was built in Ridgway in 1913 out of a 1910 Ford Model T. The wheelbase was/has been shortened considerably, from both front and rear to reduce rigid wheel base." <br /><br />"It was built for the personal transport of the General Superintendent WD Lee. It was reported in the local papers it could go 60 mph. This is unlikely as the Model T could only go about 45 on much larger wheels.<br /><br />"It was wrecked at least twice and modified many times. Legend has it that it was destroyed in a collision with a train on the Silverton Branch of the DRG in 1925. "</p><p> "This re-creation was started by Lowell Ross and completed by the RRM volunteers. It closely matches the photos from about 1920," says Ridgeway Railroad Museum information where the inspection car now resides.<br /></p><p>"The engine and transmission is Model T, but of later vintage. Anything up to 1925 could have been used by the RGS. This has a two speed rear axle although we do not know that the original did. This has a 12 volt electrical system with starter, alternator, and distributor ignition which the original probably did not. </p><p>"It is operational although it has no battery or gas when stored in the museum. We run it on our half-mile loop track several times per year."</p><p><br /></p><p> </p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-10855276582784645162024-01-01T05:53:00.000-08:002024-01-01T05:53:17.770-08:00Local paper still in grave danger of losing its soul<p><i>Years ago, I wrote this about the community newspaper business in which I was immersed, and the dangerous ground we were standing on at the time.

September, 1940. Russell Lee photo.</i><br /></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"> Save what we can<br /></h2><p><b><i>By Rob Carrigan, robcarrigan1@gmail.com</i></b></p><p>I had I
think the biggest threat to the newspaper industry today resides in the
possibility that, in many communities, the local paper is in grave
danger of losing its soul.</p><p>As we have standardized process, and streamlined technique, and adopted
best practices, we have somehow lost sight of what it means to be a
unique voice helping communities to become individual, exceptional,
distinctive and one of a kind.</p><p>And that is part of our job.
For local newspapers, it is crucial that they encourage their
communities’ rare elements to survive and to help the matchless aspects
of their neighborhoods to thrive and prosper. </p><p>None of us really wants to live in the town down the road.
None of us wants to pick up a paper in that distant town and say to
himself, “This is exactly the same paper I read this morning in my own
town.” </p><p>We can’t afford to become fast food. Even the idea of a concept
restaurant is out. We won’t survive – long term – in any other role
other than as an individual provider with a strong menu of local color
and flavor. </p><p>We need to produce an extraordinary, singular experience as we serve our
readers, sources, advertisers and ourselves.
If we are not able to create such an experience, we are doomed. </p><p>Readers
and others will find it elsewhere, the Internet being only one option.
Yet how do we offer such a singular experience? How do we continue to
nurture that soul? How do we build on years of doing just that?</p><p>I think the answer might be found in the same manner as the local, and
not chain-owned, restaurant. Soul comes from the people who work there
and the community itself. </p><p>It lives in the kitchen, with a chef that won’t compromise on
ingredients. It comes from the wait staff that cares about how customers
are treated, or even the dishwasher who takes pride in how even the
mundane tasks are performed. </p><p>Soul also survives and grows in the customers – the regular who eats
there every night and the “special occasion” diner that could think of
no other place as appropriate for such a celebration.
It is in the music that is played, and the sights, and sounds and
smells. </p><p>There is soul in the beer that is served, and in the tall, cool
glass in which it magically appears.
That soul is, of course, in the capable hands of the responsible owner

<p>Or to hear “the siren” wailing from the commissary (company store) and to see both of her parents scramble over to the tipple – her dad as a mine foreman, her mother as a mining company nurse. Again, mine accident.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I remember my heart breaking with the news from West Virginia in early 2006. <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"> </span></span></p><p><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">On January 2, 2006, rumors of a “miracle” quickly turned to tragedy when 12 coal miners were confirmed dead 40 hours after an explosion in Sago, Upshur County.
One person who was trapped, Randal McCloy Jr., barely survived as he
watched his 12 colleagues succumb to carbon monoxide poisoning.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p>My granddad worked all his life in the coal mines but none of his children followed him down that hole.</p>
<p></p>
<p>My uncles and aunts instead pursued difficult jobs in warehouses, and tanneries, and the building trades, and their own businesses. Or some of them went north toward Detroit and the auto industry.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I recall that generation (aunts, uncles, my mother, etc.) talking about their various blue-collar endeavors with always the common refrain, “It beats working in a coal mine.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Many would add, “but it doesn’t pay as well.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>Though it has been 101 years, and it is a very different kind of mining, this area has felt such pain. The Jan. 28, 1904 edition of the Victor Daily Record cried out the headline, “The 15 bodies of the Independence accident were brought from the shaft house early yesterday morning to the two undertaking parlors in this city.”</p>
<p></p>
<p>We know also of other violence during the strikes and the dynamiting of the platform.</p>
<p></p>
<p>We know always of the caution required.</p>
<p></p>
<p>But still, no matter what profession we toil in, news of mine accidents is a terrible thing. Even on a bad day most of us can agree with my uncles and aunts.</p>

<p>“It beats working in a coal mine.”</p></div><div class="entry-content"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Other incidents that are hard to forget. </span></div><div class="entry-content"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div><div class="entry-content"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">• Buffalo Creek Hollow, West Virginia, 1972</span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The Buffalo Creek Flood disaster occurred on February 26, 1972, when three impoundment dams on Buffalo Creek holding coal mining wastewater from the Buffalo Mining Company collapsed, one into the next, like dominoes. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Dam #3, the uppermost, went first. It had been built out of poorly selected mine waste and on coal slurry, not bedrock. Dam #3 had long exhibited problems, and in 1970 the state recommended an emergency spillway be built, which never happened. The mine operators assertively ignored federal regulations as well. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">During the two days before the collapse, 3.72 inches of rain fell on Logan County, enough to push the water within a foot of Dam #3’s crest, which still had no spillway. The situation was precarious, but no warnings were issued. When Dam #3 fell, its toxic contents overwhelmed Dam #2, which also collapsed, followed by Dam #1, sending a wall of water 30-40’ feet high through more than a dozen towns along Buffalo Creek Hollow, home to some 5,000 residents. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Buffalo Creek was one of the worst West Virginia coal mine accidents in terms of lives lost, property destroyed, and damage to the environment. The death toll was 125 people, with over 1,110 injured. More than 500 structures were destroyed, mostly houses but mobile homes and businesses as well. It would be more than 30 years before the fish population that died in the suddenly toxic Buffalo Creek waters would be restocked. </span><br /><br /><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">A report by the West Virginia Ad Hoc Commission of Inquiry into the Buffalo Creek Flood concluded the Pittston Company, the parent of Buffalo Mining, “has shown flagrant disregard for the safety of residents of Buffalo Creek and other persons who live near coal-refuse impoundments.” Many of the lawsuits that followed were settled for far less than the original amount. Survivors collectively sued for $64 million and settled for $13.5 million. The state itself sued for $100 million and later settled for $1 million. </span></div><div class="entry-content"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></div><div class="entry-content"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">Here in Colorado, we experienced terrible coal mining accidents, of course.</span></span></div><div class="entry-content"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc"> </span></span></div><div class="entry-content"><span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">• The Hastings Mine Explosion

It had been through a lot of terrible accidents in its early life.</p><p>"At 7:15 P.M., November 7, 1944, truck driver Glenn Kelloge was headed north towards Wyoming with 30,000 pounds of packaged meat in his semitrailer," wrote Kenneth Jessen in his 1984 book Thompson Valley Tales. </p><p>"At the road crossing between Denver and Cheyenne (the predecessor of I-25) and the railroad, the semitrailer was struck by G.W.'s largest and most powerful locomotive, No. 90. The impact severed the cab from the trailer and the heavy engine was spun around like a toy landing on its side. The solid steel draw bar connecting the engine was snapped in two."</p><p>"The trailer's contents were dumped all over the ground. As aptly put by Loveland-Reporter-Herald, "Much of the meat, including hams, found new homes during the night," says Jessen.</p><p>"When the locomotive tipped over, brakemann Wallace Steppelman was pinned and scalded to death by escaping steam. It took a great deal of time to free his body with a cutting torch. Steppelman died a horrible death. The G.W. employees disdained the people who came to the wreck and stole packaged meat." </p><p>Along with other incidents over the years:</p><p>• On May 6, 1940, a major fire broke out at the GW's roundhouse in Loveland, with three steam locomotives still inside. No. 90 happened to be under steam at the time, and quick-thinking crews used No. 90 to pull all the other locomotives out of the burning building. The roundhouse fire cost the GW nearly $200,000 in damage, and the locomotives, including No. 90, sustained damage, but they were subsequently repaired. <br /><br />• On November 7, 1944, No. 90 was broadsided by a truck at a grade crossing east of Loveland and knocked onto its fireman's side, with the truck being damaged beyond repair. Both the fireman and the truck driver were killed in the accident, which was deemed the worst rail disaster in GW's history. The GW sent 90 to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad's (CB&Q) shops in Denver, where repairs on the locomotive took several months to complete. <br /><br />• In 1956, No. 90 was hit by another truck, twisting and damaging the locomotive's side gear. The truck driver was killed, while No. 90's engineer and fireman were severely injured. The locomotive subsequently had to undergo repairs again. </p><p>According to Save the Loveland GW Depots, The No. 90 engine was thought to be jinxed and described as the most accident prone engine Great Western Railway ever owned. The preservation group notes the following incidents.<br /><br /> Early on May 6, 1940, fire broke out in the Loveland roundhouse that cost about $200,000 in damage. Three locomotives would have been destroyed had No. 90 not been under steam. While the fire raged they used No. 90 to pull the other two engines to safety. As a result of the fire No. 90 had to have its cab replaced. <br /> <br />In 1944 she was hit by a truck broadside at the Bird crossing just east of Loveland. In this accident, the locomotive ended up on her side and facing the other direction. Her tender was disconnected and the truck was totaled. Tragically, the No. 90s fireman died in the incident as did the truck driver. <br />By 1954 she had been rebuilt a number of times and hardly resembled the locomotive that was first delivered. <br /> <br />A little over ten years later on the first day of the campaign in 1956, she was hit again by a truck while she was sounding the engine whistle and with warning flashers going. The truck driver was killed and the crew on the Great Western Railway escaped with a wide variety of injuries. Again, she had to be repaired. <br /> <br />"Despite being the engine with the most damage, No. 90 was the last engine in operation for Great Western running until 1967. Her last years leading up to her departure were focused on passenger travel and she was sold in 1967 to the Strasburg Railroad (Lancaster, PA) in 1967 for 23,000, " says the preservation group.<br /><br /> Her luck seemed to have changed when she went to her new home in Strasburg.

The phrase “seeing the elephant” is an Americanism of the mid to late
19th century. </p><p>The phrase appears throughout the United States in the
Mexican-American War, the Texan Santa Fe Expedition, the American Civil
War, the 1849 Gold Rush, and the Westward Expansion Trails (Oregon
Trail, California Trail, Mormon Trail), the mythical elephant was an
extremely popular way of expressing an overwhelming emotion. </p><p>During the 20th century the phrase faded from popularity but when
historians started taking note of its recurrence in historical
newspapers, journals, and literature they often summed the elephant up
too quickly and categorized it as a negative experience. </p><p>Desolation and
sadness may have been one trait of seeing the elephant, but it was
certainly not the only or even the most prevalent. </p><p>More often, American
pioneers of the Overland Trails talk of the excitement and anticipation
of heading west to see the elephant.
Elephant “sightings” often begin with excitement and high ideals only to
be disappointing or disenchanting. </p><p>The high excitement followed by the
low frustrations are what epitomize the elephant as something most
wanted to “see” but few would have wanted to “see” again. ‘Been there,
done that,’ I suppose, is the modern version. </p><p>About 130 years ago, in the summer of 1885, William Henry Jackson
unpacked his mule, unloaded his glass plates and his field dark room and
took an iconic photograph that looks very much like Elephant Rock or
Phoebe’s Arch of today. It became Print No. 1170 and part of his Sample
Album, Colorado Book VIII, print No. 74. </p><p>The book now is frayed, creased
and cracked, but resides in the Denver Public Library’s Western
History/Genealogy Department, right at the top of the downtown library. </p><p> Jackson’s photograph made the land feature Elephant Rock relatively
famous with Stereoscopic prints of it being especially popular.
I also found some interesting notes awhile back from the Proceedings of
the Colorado Scientific Society’s road meeting held in November, 1892. </p><p>The presentation at that program was developed by Geo. L. Cannon, Jr.
who identified himself as a lecturer at the Rocky Mountain Chautauqua
Assembly in the previous season. He titled it: Notes on the Geology of
Palmer Lake, Colo., and the Paleozoic Exposures Along the Front Range. </p><p>“A scarcely perceptible erosion ridge runs through town, from the base
of Mt. Thompson to the Arkansas-Platte divide — the beginning of the
crest of that great tract of upland country that projects far out into
the area of the great plains. </p><p>Near the Rio Grande Pavilion, drops of
rain separated by a few inches space will start on that long journey to
the Gulf by widely diverging paths, some falling north into Plum Creek
drainage, and seeking the “Father of Waters” by way of Palmer Lake, Plum
Creek, the Platte and the Missouri rivers; while other drops fall
southerly into Monument Creek which joins Fontaine qui Bouille at
Colorado Springs, this intern, the Arkansas at Pueblo, which empties
into the Mississippi 400 miles below mouth of the Missouri River,” wrote
Cannon.
The report mentions distinctive landmarks in this area. </p><p>“The views from this point are about the most beautiful in Colorado. To
the west rise the precipitous walls of Mt. Hermon, Mt. Cannon,
Chautauqua Crest and Mt. Thompson, towering 1,500 to 2,000 feet above
the valley. to the east, the curious ‘Elephant Rock,’ Phoebe’s Arch, the
Lion Head and castellated summit of Monument Creek, with its
far-reaching, pine-clad mesas and frequent exposures of brilliantly
-tinted rocks of fantastic forms. </p><p>To the north lies Palmer Lake, and
valley of Plum Creek, filled with numerous buttes, mesas and flat-topped
ridges separated by gentle, undulating valleys. </p><p>The gentler slopes are
carpeted with a growth of silvery-green herbage, that contrast admirably
with clumps of oak brush and dark pine forests, and with the warmer
tints of the sandstone and granite exposures. In the early summer the
hillsides are often a mass of purple-blue, or gold from the acres of
abundant mountain flowers.</p><p> The scenery of this vicinity differs from
that of the points along the foothills, in the substitution of mesas
and buttes for the usual hogback configuration,” he said.
Jackson saw the Elephant. Cannon saw the Elephant. I have seen the
Elephant. </p><p>You too, ought to able to see the Elephant.

the 78th year (Now, 88th year), the Palmer Lake Star will again shine from Sundance
Mountain and decorate the front range for the Christmas season. This is
the first year (2013) the star is listed on the Colorado State Register of
Historic Properties. </p><p>Unfortunately, Tim Wagner, who was instrumental in work that enabled
that designation, won’t be able to share in the success in Palmer Lake
this year. </p><p>“I was a member of the Palmer Lake Historical Society Board with honor
of preparing the star’s nomination for the register. Many folks assisted
me including Tim Wagner, a Palmer Lake surveyor who completed a
comprehensive survey of the star back in January 2009. Additionally,
just before I met with the State Historical Preservation Board, Tim
helped me answer several last minute questions they asked me. Sadly and
suddenly, Tim passed away on January 20, 2013, two days after the board
unanimously voted to list the Palmer Lake Star as a prestigious Colorado
historical site, “ Jack Anthony said. </p><p>“Tim Wagner’s 2009 survey was comprehensive and required him to traipse
all over Sundance Mountain with his survey gear. The five-point Palmer
Lake Star is comprised of 91 40-watt vibration resistant light bulbs and
is built on a 14-acre site on Sundance Mountain. Tim determined
Sundance had a 58 percent slope. He sure verified that steepness as he
learned every inch of the star. Tim precisely determined the star 404.8
feet tall, 457.3 feet wide and 434.3 feet on the diagonal. He stepped up
with his survey skills and passion for the star and helped ensure we
were ready for the board with impressive data. Using Tim’s survey data I
can say the Palmer Lake Star is the largest outdoor star in the world.” </p><p>The Palmer Lake Volunteer Fire Department’s annual chili supper and star
lighting is scheduled every year at the town hall. </p><p>Anthony created a pamphlet to commemorate Wagner’s contribution.</p><p> “I dedicate the pamphlet to the memory of Tim Wagner, who knows the star
like no one else and who today gazes upon it from heaven above.” </p><p>Tim’s wife, Joy says Tim would have been very excited to share in the
success. </p><p>“He was a very giving person.” Joy said. “It was one of his Legacy
projects,” adding that he also was working to document rights of way for
Palmer Lake all the way from the railroad bridge in Monument through
town. </p><p>"Tim was very proud to have earlier located the long lost center section
marker for Palmer Lake Section 5, marked originally when the town was
laid out in 1886."</p>___ Restless Nativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01509033032027601297noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840823341166371088.post-91354439541647530202023-12-17T09:46:00.000-08:002023-12-17T11:53:28.538-08:00Hundreds of years of growth and culture near the Council Tree<p><i></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiToB6ZrifUpxu8mq1J4bDmwNjgiMsWeW99l4lqM7KWgUWg8Rl-fvvRXvmXc4hiL5lKSVrDzZJ15c9SxgTEZs-nYUYwK3aomlhVIQJm6TmQj7XP9lYDdeZAXrtD5upj6Drqq6t-XysSX5O3IhTpQ8cx3U74qxFRvX7vYt_qTM4wug5bEgY8VQhleRrmOT-w/s963/service-pnp-fsac-1a34000-1a34200-1a34202v.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="533" data-original-width="963" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiToB6ZrifUpxu8mq1J4bDmwNjgiMsWeW99l4lqM7KWgUWg8Rl-fvvRXvmXc4hiL5lKSVrDzZJ15c9SxgTEZs-nYUYwK3aomlhVIQJm6TmQj7XP9lYDdeZAXrtD5upj6Drqq6t-XysSX5O3IhTpQ8cx3U74qxFRvX7vYt_qTM4wug5bEgY8VQhleRrmOT-w/s320/service-pnp-fsac-1a34000-1a34200-1a34202v.jpg" width="320" /></a></i></div><i><br />Hay stack and automobiles of peach pickers, Delta County, Colorado.

the Ute Council Tree was once a towering specimen. It was estimated to
be over 215 years old at the time of its death in 2017, with a crown
that reached 89 feet in the air," says Atlas Obscura.<br /></p>
<p>"It is believed that the Indigenous Ute people who lived in the area
held tribal council meetings under the shade of the tall
cottonwood, before their expulsion by the U.S. government in 1881."</p><div class="htlad-Place_page_inline" style="margin-bottom: 1em;"></div>
<p>"It is even claimed that Chief Ouray and his wife Chipeta negotiated
treaties with white settlers at the site of the council tree, though
there is very little historical evidence to back that up. In fact, when
these events would have taken place the tree would have been much
smaller and indistinct from the other cottonwood trees that were there.
Still, the centuries-old tree became linked with the Ute people and
given historic significance."</p>
<p>"In August of 2017, the last living branch of the massive cottonwood
fell off, and the decision was made to cut down the dead canopy of the
tree in the interest of public safety, leaving the remaining 23-foot
trunk as a memorial to the tree and the Ute tribes," say Atlas Obscura.<br /></p>

1883. The county was named for the City of Delta, which gets its moniker
for its location on the delta of the Uncompahgre River. Delta County's
story is also about the pioneers of agriculture, mining, land and water
development. More than 100 years ago the Delta County area was the
homeland of the Ute Indian people. Today, visitors can learn about the
cultural traditions of western Colorado by visiting Delta County, according to the the County's site. <br /></p><p>"Delta's 200-year old Ute Council Tree is an historic cottonwood that
was designated a Colorado Landmark and is dedicated in memory of the Ute
tribe's Chief Ouray and his wife, Chipeta. Interestingly, Chipeta is
said to be the only Indian woman ever permitted to sit in council
meetings, which were held at this site." </p>
<p>Also in Delta, visit the Delta County Historical Museum, which is
housed in an old fire house. Here, you can see many items of interest
from Delta's pioneer days, such as house wares, toys, clothing and early
farming and ranch utensils. Fossil, dinosaur bones and a world-class
butterfly exhibit with specimens from all over the world are on display
here. The museum also has on display a robe from the 1800s that was
worn by the King of Siam. Additionally, there is an eight-foot tall
clock that used to be in the French palace of Louis the 14th. It is
said to be one of only three clocks he owned. The museum also displays a
bridle crafted by the western legend Tom Horn. </p><p>Many people stop in to
hear the story of the McCarty Gang and the hero William Ray Simpson, a
local hardware store owner who brought the gang down.</p>

Delta led a remarkably different life from that of the present. Light
and heat were provided primarily by burning kerosene and wood. During a
town meeting earlier that year the townspeople requested that the city
council investigate a lighting system for public and commercial uses," says the city site.<br /></p>
<p>"On April 21, 1897 the Delta City Council passed an ordinance to
approve W.S. Bristol and R.B. Bushaw to put in an electric light plant
and granted a 20 year franchise."</p>
<p>"Land, funding and
equipment had to be secured for the power plat; then poles had to be set
and transmission lines strung and connected. Paperwork and bureaucracy
existed even then, slowing the installation and hookup process. Finally,
electric lights were turned on for the first time in the City of Delta
on New Year's Day in 1903. To say the least, the community found this
new, convenient source of light to be a great improvement."</p>
<p>At the turn of the century, only about 800 residents made up the population Delta. By 1910, the population had almost tripled. By the mid-1930's the city's dwellers had surpassed 3,000 and the need for additional electrical
supply became increasingly apparent.</p>

the city of Delta was established in 1935. By 1938, three small
Fairbanks-Morse diesel generators had been installed in the power plant.
Two of these units were three-cylinder, 125kW engine/generators; the
third was a four-cylinder, 172kW engine/generator.</p>
<p>Between 1939 and 1956 four additional Fairbanks-Morse
engine/generator units of greater output were purchased and installed.
These four units were later converted to use natural gas as well as
diesel fuel. The seven generators provide a total output of 4989kW.</p>
<p>Although the population of the city of Delta remained the same from
about 1940 to 1990, electrical usage had increased considerable both in
homes and in business establishments. As technology improved the area's
quality of life, the community's electrical usage required that the
Delta power plant purchase additional electricity from neighboring
utilities. This tie-in occurred in 1967, requiring the installation of a
substation behind the existing plant.</p>The Fairbanks-Morse engine/generators with Woodward governors have
provided an effective power source to the residents of Delta for nearly
half a century but the Power Plant is no longer operational. The City of Delta purchases their power.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WTdHq-v_ZtRVgh5l6ixNaHXT7gu_eP7G1K01Mx1HHiguVgLM5UfofOcpn-U8OC1fpSoWKGa_gJM19k7UwxdovGIgxgTlZoup4xqU13AvDBqJ5G2MvFiIVMTIFN21FNG0kNK-SzsUvu6ri-MyuDWnIDEPeLS2yDhM9LtEH3cxcXTvp_-GiFmNiQAEppHY/s908/service-pnp-mrg-08500-08533v.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="908" data-original-width="596" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5WTdHq-v_ZtRVgh5l6ixNaHXT7gu_eP7G1K01Mx1HHiguVgLM5UfofOcpn-U8OC1fpSoWKGa_gJM19k7UwxdovGIgxgTlZoup4xqU13AvDBqJ5G2MvFiIVMTIFN21FNG0kNK-SzsUvu6ri-MyuDWnIDEPeLS2yDhM9LtEH3cxcXTvp_-GiFmNiQAEppHY/s320/service-pnp-mrg-08500-08533v.jpg" width="210" /></a></div><p><i>Delta, Colorado, John Margolies, photographer, 1991</i><br /> </p><p>Over time, the City of Delta now has 30 buildings which have received local

The ore was in strataform bodies in the Entrada Sandstone (Jurassic) east of the town. The principal mineral was roscoelite, with minor montroseite and carnotite.
By the fall of 1899, development was described as "of the most
superficial character," although Frenzel had driven one tunnel 18 feet
into the rock. By 1901-1902, Frenzel was excavating several thousand tons intended for shipment to Europe. Most of the Placerville ore was less than 3% vanadium, too low grade to pay for shipment to Europe, so in 1905 the Vanadium
Alloys Co. built an ore-processing mill southeast of Placerville to
recover the metal as ferro-vanadium, which it sold.
At least five mines were active at one time, and by 1919 the two ore
mills at Placerville were producing 30% of the world's vanadium. Through 1940, the mines produced about 3.7 million pounds of vanadium.</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH7yVQ17c__eoYGLsY4GusD5hjTuru2LbQJLBqjVqZhRXCwzuClt87Cv1X5qAzclSn_N0FhJk2wGhFUXZnoFytQFdDU96ZqG5FNZBbJNJqb36e51smcldAnNLy1T20s-in9kufiYE9PbemtRkoB1oghYn4_aX8WQR41YNIG81WhE22TTIhDCg75byG-iqZ/s500/default-10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="333" data-original-width="500" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH7yVQ17c__eoYGLsY4GusD5hjTuru2LbQJLBqjVqZhRXCwzuClt87Cv1X5qAzclSn_N0FhJk2wGhFUXZnoFytQFdDU96ZqG5FNZBbJNJqb36e51smcldAnNLy1T20s-in9kufiYE9PbemtRkoB1oghYn4_aX8WQR41YNIG81WhE22TTIhDCg75byG-iqZ/s320/default-10.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span><i><span>Men pose on columned porches of frame saloons in</span><span class="highlight"> Placerville,</span><span> San Miguel County, Colorado.

carnotite in the Paradox Valley was found to hold vanadium, radium, and uranium.
Vanadium saw limited production in the early twentieth century, but as
with tungsten and molybdenum, demand skyrocketed during World War I. By
the early 1920s, Colorado had shipped some 500 tons of the stuff.
Production declined after the war. During the Great Depression,
when the development cost was low, the United States Vanadium
Corporation bought up vanadium-producing properties, revived old mills,
and established new towns at Uravan and Vancorum.
Production remained limited, but the infrastructure proved helpful when
demand for vanadium ramped up again ahead of World War II.</p>
<p>Among the carnotite metals identified at the turn of the century,
radium was the most immediately useful; it provided nighttime
illumination and was valued for experimental cancer treatments. Western
Colorado soon became the world’s leading producer of radium, and in the
1910s, the National Radium Institute built a concentrator near Naturita and a plant in Denver.
During World War I, prices for radium soared when supply from Austria
was cut off in Allied countries. At the same time, demand increased as
militaries scrambled for radium to light up instrumentation at night.
Radium briefly became the most expensive substance in the world, going
for more than $3 million per ounce. Yet Colorado’s radium industry
quickly died out after World War I, when demand dropped and new deposits
were discovered in the Belgian Congo, says Colorado Encyclopedia.</p><p>Although carnotite
was recognized as a minor constituent of the ore since its discovery,
the amount was small, and no assays were made of the uranium content of
the ore until World War II. Beginning about 1950, the small uranium content of the ore was also recovered from the ore.

Capt. Berthoud, during the Civil War he served as a lieutenant and captain in the 2nd
Colorado Infantry and 2nd Colorado Cavalry. Berthoud became one of
Golden's most prominent citizens, serving as Speaker of the Colorado
Territorial Legislature in 1866, County Surveyor from 1875 to 1878, and
Golden Mayor in 1890. He surveyed and supervised construction of many
railroad lines in Colorado and the West, primarily for the Colorado
Central Railroad. Berthoud was an early supporter, faculty member, and
board member of the Colorado School of Mines, and an amateur scholar of
history, botany, and ornithology.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeHQ0OWrQ23xNmQyH-m42Tq1bPGmfSB6dH0F9xNyG-616xoAhIbwR0lTUyzW7mZrHolvijmypSM4BKNhjDov0Ne-pLAh7uUzQjGJEgjMqdXJDdOvKP92RwsPjrNu8SlIA7gfgZygiGa9X7JkRdA7HdAGlHoZVaUkwY_NkxcmfynoQKRyi1SP2zJI9S9m-O/s654/Loveland.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="654" data-original-width="453" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeHQ0OWrQ23xNmQyH-m42Tq1bPGmfSB6dH0F9xNyG-616xoAhIbwR0lTUyzW7mZrHolvijmypSM4BKNhjDov0Ne-pLAh7uUzQjGJEgjMqdXJDdOvKP92RwsPjrNu8SlIA7gfgZygiGa9X7JkRdA7HdAGlHoZVaUkwY_NkxcmfynoQKRyi1SP2zJI9S9m-O/s320/Loveland.webp" width="222" /></a></div><p><i>W.A.H. Loveland</i></p><p><i> </i>Loveland, of course, was named after W.A.H. Loveland, president of the Colorado Central Railroad, (he was Berthoud's boss) and prominent in state affairs. The townsite was platted on the farm of David Barnes — later known as the "father of Loveland" — and who declined to have the town named for him. Loveland's name also graces 11,992-feet Loveland Pass and the nearby ski area on the Continental Divide.</p><p></p><p>"The earliest settlement in the Big Thompson Valley underwent many name changes but was eventually called Namaqua," writes Kenneth Jesson in "Thompson Valley Tales, (1984)." The story of Namaqua, of course, began with the arrival of mountain man Mariano Medina, who first arrived in the area with french trappers, Nicholas and Antoine Janis, along with Spanish Jose' de Mirabel.</p><p>"The location Namaqua was immediately west of Namaqua Park on County Road 19E by the Big Thompson River. Jose' de Mirabel settled on this site. A brief report of the new settlement appeared in the March 1860, edition of the Rocky Mountain News. The town was said to be named in honor of "Joe Merival." Somehow the name of Mirabal was transformed into Miraval in the article, and later, the settlement became known as Miraville," says Jessen.<br /></p><p>"Miraville was not mentioned again after 1860 because the community had simply changed names," notes Jessen. "Many of the mountain men moved on, and some sttled in Colona (now called La Porte.) Mariano Medina remained along with the Jose' de Mirabal and Tim Goodale. Mariano recruited several Mexican famlies from the Taos, New Mexico, area to live on the ranch and help with the chores. The small settlement then became "Marianne's Crossing." It later was called "Big Thompson Station," with a stage stop, which was later combined with Washburn's Crossing, and later saw the development of the community known as St. Louis. Most of St. Louis moved to Loveland when the Colorado Central rails came through and located on David Barnes wheat farm. </p><p>Some effort to name the new town "Barnesville" was circumvented by David Barnes who chose "Loveland " instead, after his friend William Austin Hamilton Loveland, the president of Colorado Central Railroad and one of the founders of Golden. He also ran for Governor of Colorado but was defeated by Pitkin and eventually became owner of the Rocky Mountain News.</p><p><i></i></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><i><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_xiRyVJp0cigyKgpr5SXs5T5Vb2tFX1PEawqqTX7nRVFwL10IvUe7OQ5QeJiakP3m55CNSZ3t-Mud1O5CUintec5-HazIYVPRa6h9BMzMB0VdNPdQS2ZH_HDSorCUZOa8c0HOpNoVdyxP4PipVvWf8fTEByVFwTlBa8T7K44iVFAUMofopDdn9FJ2byq/s501/default-2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="298" data-original-width="501" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc_xiRyVJp0cigyKgpr5SXs5T5Vb2tFX1PEawqqTX7nRVFwL10IvUe7OQ5QeJiakP3m55CNSZ3t-Mud1O5CUintec5-HazIYVPRa6h9BMzMB0VdNPdQS2ZH_HDSorCUZOa8c0HOpNoVdyxP4PipVvWf8fTEByVFwTlBa8T7K44iVFAUMofopDdn9FJ2byq/s320/default-2.jpg" width="320" /></a></i></div><i><br />Colorado Central Depot in Loveland, <span><span>built in 1877, shows the rectangular side gable brick
