Irving Howbert
Irving Howbert (April 11, 1846 – December 21, 1934) was a pioneer settler of the U.S. state of Colorado, who with General William Jackson Palmer was instrumental in the establishment of Colorado Springs.
==Early life==
Of German ancestry,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=German ancestry Politicians in Indiana )〕 Howbert was born in Columbus in Bartholomew County in southern Indiana. When he was six, his family moved westward to Iowa. In 1860, he joined hs father, William Howbert, in relocating to Colorado, where he resided briefly in Hamilton in Park County and Old Colorado City, the temporary Colorado Territory capital.〔 Howbert recalled his first view of the South Park region from the top of Kenosha Hill: "As young as I was it made a lasting impression on my mind. ... It was a scene I have never forgotten," he said of the valley and wooded hills framed by rugged mountains.〔Laura King Van Dusen, ''Historic Tales from Park County: Parked in the Past'' (Charleston, South Carolina: The History Press, 2013), ISBN 978-1-62619-161-7, pp. 33-35.〕
In Hamilton (not to be confused with the Hamilton near Craig in Moffat County in northwestern Colorado), William Howbert established a Methodist mission and soon built a church of rough-hewn logs and probably a dirt floor. There were numerous saloons but few general stores because most settlers brought with them six months worth of supplies. Irving Howbert wrote that he had seen trout teeming in the streams which were not being placer mined and considerable deer and available quality beef as well. Gold dust was the medium of exchange. Settlers carried a buckskin bag of gold dust with which to make purchases.〔
From 1861 to 1864, Howbert lived on a ranch at Cheyenne Creek near the future Colorado Springs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Irving Howbert: Quick Facts )〕
