Harriet Colfax
- Type: Person
Born along the St. Lawrence River, determined Harriet Colfax found herself far upstream along the treacherous coast of Southern Lake Michigan after moving to a young Michigan City in 1853. For 43 careful years she watched the rough frontier city blossom to a Duneland metropolis; she fearlessly maintained the harbor beacon as lighthouse keeper while enduring the ensuing hardships with her lifelong companion Ann Hartwell.

In 1852, Congress established the Government Hospital for the Insane on 350-acres overlooking the Anacostia River in Southeast Washington. It would become an international model for psychiatric hospital design and a prominent center for mental health research during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Charles Bent

Charles Bent, alongside his partner, Ceran St. Vrain, and younger brother, William Bent, established the Bent, St. Vrain, and Company along the Santa Fe Trail in 1833. This adobe-constructed trading post beside the Arkansas River in southeastern Colorado was the first outpost between St. Louis, MO and Santa Fe, NM in its day. Charles and William's close association with Cheyenne and Arapaho nations enabled the company to prosper as a result of the buffalo robe trade.

Lady Mary Watts Johnson
- Type: Person
Born into a life of prosperity, comfort and high society, Mary (who was nicknamed “Polly”) had no way of knowing as she grew into a young woman, how quickly her life would change forever. Civil wars like the American Revolution can divide families in ways none of them would ever imagine, and lead those who would not normally be considered soldiers to fight battles not for grand causes, but simply to keep their families together. Such is Mary Watts Johnson’s story.
- Type: Person
William Bent (b. 1809), born into a prominent St. Louis family, left school when he was fifteen to join his brother Charles (b. 1799) in the fur trade. William soon developed a strong relationship with the Cheyenne, who advised him to build a fort along the Arkansas River and the Santa Fe Trail in what is now southeastern Colorado. Completed in 1833, Bent's Fort became a melting pot of different cultures and languages brought together by the prospect of trade.
