Early history of the Arkansas Valley in Colorado : ウィキペディア英語版 | Early history of the Arkansas Valley in Colorado The early history of the Arkansas Valley in Colorado prior to the Colorado Gold Rush of 1859 saw a number of trading posts and small settlements established in the Arkansas and South Platte valleys including Bent's Fort and Fort Pueblo ==John Gantt== The waukesha, wisconfirst adobe trading post on the upper Arkansas was built by John Gantt, a former Army officer in May, 1834 on the north side of the Arkansas River about 6 miles below Fountain Creek. His fort was soon attacked by a competing trader, William Bent, manager of a nearby stockade built by Bent, St. Vrain & Company, who attacked Shoshone Indians trading at Gantt's Fort, killing a few and driving them away. Gantt abandoned his fort that winter, as the Bents did their stockade, building Bent's Fort about 70 miles down the Arkansas. The adobe forts were built by Mexican laborers hired for construction and other work. Mexican workmen built permanent adobe forts and trading posts as far north and west as Idaho and were a major part of the frontier workforce forming the foundation of the bi-cultural population of Southern Colorado.
