One of a series of caches recognizing figures from Pueblo's early days.

James Beckwourth was one of the founders and early residents of Fort Pueblo. He had been born into slavery in Virginia, but was freed by his owner/father and came west as a member of a fur trapping company. He became a prominent trapper and mountain man, and later followed the Gold Rush to California.


Most of the information to create this series came from the following three books: Pueblo, an Illustrated History by Eleanor Fry & Ione Miller. 2001. Heritage Media Corp. Carlsbad, CA Pueblo, a Pictorial History by Joanne West Dodds. 1982. The Donning Company/Publishers. Norfolk, VA They All Came to Pueblo: a Social History by Joanne West Dodds. 1994. The Donning Company/Publishers. Virginia Beach, VA
