Collection Name:
Bent-Hyde Papers, 1905-1918
Collection Description:
This collection consists of original maps detailing locations of Indigenous nations in North America and military positions in areas such as Sand Creek and the Arkansas River. It includes correspondence between George Bent, a Cheyenne-American interpreter, George Hyde, a white historian, and George Grinnell, a white anthropologist while covering the years 1905-1918. In the interest of preserving and presenting the historical records, the University Libraries collects materials that document the perspectives presented by the creators. As a result, this collection contains objectionable depictions and language that do not reflect the current preferred terminology, or the values and norms of the University Libraries. CU Boulder Libraries acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.

Inscription Text:
[Cataloger's note: Transcriptions come from George Hyde's and George Grinnell's notes, maps and letters to George Bent.] I drew this map years ago when first trying to locate Bent's Fort and other places, and sent it to George Bent. He has marked on it in black ink: "Bent's Fort" on n. bak Arkansas R., opp. mouth of Rile Cr. (Wrong location: he later corrected it.) 2. On South bank Arkansas, from Mud Cr to C1ay Cr. "Apaches buried." This is the bluff in which the Prairie-Apaches buried their people in holes after an epidemic. I Think Mr. Grinnell records the date and details in one of his books. 3. "Bitter Lake" at a point due north of Bent's New Fort. 4. "Black Lake" at the head of Wild Horse Cr, east of Sand Cr. (I think both these locations are wrong, but the Cheyennes are rather mixed up about these lakes. I think Bent marked them where he did because the streams nearby are called Wild Horse Cr, These lakes are where the Cheyennes hunted wild horses about 1828. George E. Hyde.
