Bent. George Bent was on the
Upper Missouri rier, in what is
Montana today, as early as 1916 in
the employ of the American Fur
Company. William Bent's first adj
venture into the western wilder
ness was also in the employ of the
American Fur Company among the
Sioux Indians.
In 1924 William Bent built a
trading post on the Arkansas river
in Colorado, just below the present
city of Pueblo and was the first
permanent white settler in what is
now Colorado. BY his fair and
open dealings and his fearlessl1ess,
he won the confidence of the In
dams and retained it till his death
Among the rough fraternity OF
mountain trappers he was also very
popular and had reputation for
great courage.
Almost equally popular and res
pected was his brother, Charles
Bent, who took most active part
in the Santa Fe trade of the COM
pany, often being elected captain
of the richly laden caravans of the
traders. Charles Bent
was appointed governor of the ter
ritory by General Kearny in 1916,
and shortly afterward there was
an uprising of Pueblo Indians in
the governors home town where
he had gone for few days visit
with his family, and the red men
started out to kill every American
IN the settlement. They went to
he governors house first and muir
1ered him in cold blood, and the
story is substantiated that he faced
