I know Bent’s Old Fork was rebuilt to look like the original. One picture showed a beautiful peacock. I have saved pictures of western ghost towns or what is left of them. When I read what mountain men went through and early settlers, I have to wonder if people today could have done what they did. Guess that can be said of our space pioneers, too. I find history fascinating. When I was in high scool back in the good ole days, I loved ancient history. My teacher looked like she could have lived way back then but she knew that history. I even like my English class with “olde” English. I was one of a very few that could understand it. My reading paid off when I was asked to read it to my class. Do not know if I could do that now! : )
Been there!
Nice reconstruction of the past; considering that they had basically a lump of dirt and rotted logs to start with!
