 PBS - THE WEST - William Bent
At the center of this network stood Bent's Fort, a massive adobe outpost on the north bank of the Arkansas River in present-day Colorado, which William Bent constructed in 1833 and where he served as field manager of the company's far-flung operations.
Life at Bent's Fort involved prolonged contact with the Indian peoples of the southern Plains, and like many white traders and trappers, William Bent came to occupy a sort of cultural middle ground between the Indian and white worlds.
Three years later, it was perhaps Bent's assumption that the government would pay him back for all his services that caused him to blow up Bent's Fort rather than sell it to the army at what he considered an insultingly low price.
