Start
Have you ever heard about Bent's fort? No? Well... I think it's a good time to sit together and talk about it. The place has an interesting history which should be known by each Wild Wester. Before we start, please bring me Bullet casings and a dictionary. I will need them to show you something later.
 Finish
The story starts not so long ago....

In the 30s of the XVII century two Bents, Charles and William, decided to build a fort. The construction was ready in 1833 when first trades happened. New fort allowed better trading between Indians and trappers. Fort was a popular place for the next few years.
 Finish
Isn't trading a really nice activity?

Start
Fort quickly got popular. On an area of 3.32 km2 trading company expanded their empire, which contained more forts and shops all around the country. All of this started just with relatively small trades for buffalo robes. The fort was located in a perfect spot, which allowed people traveling through Santa Fe Trail to stop there to maintain their wagons or refill necessary supplies.
 Finish
Fort was also a very special place. The only permanent settlement which wasn't under Mexican or Native American control.

Santa Fe Trail! It was a well-known route through North America from Missouri to New Mexico. It was used by traders to travel between cities and trade their goods. Santa Fe Trail was used about the time of Bent's fort's existence. To travel through the route traders needed even 10 weeks!
 Finish
Maybe I will tell you more next time.

Start
The fort was made out of adobe bricks. Walls were 4.5 meters high and 1.2 meters thick. The whole building was 41 meters wide and 55 meters long. This was an incredible size for that time. Do you think it would have survived a fort battle?
 Finish
The construction seems to be untouched.

Start
After 16 years of prosperity something unexpected happened, a choleric epidemic struck Indians. Fort owner made a hard decision to move his company to a different, safe, place. In 1849 the forts' legend was over. After the epidemic they tried to rebuild the empire, but the title of a main fort was already taken by another place. Do you think any interesting items are left there?
 Finish
I have the feeling that somebody in the future will build this fort again and prepare a nice museum there. Who knows, if my feelings are correct.
