  • Built by the Brantner Brothers in 1859, Four Mile House is the oldest standing structure in Denver, with a long history of female entrepreneurialism. In its early days, the house served as a store, restaurant, tavern and boarding house for travelers headed west along the Smokey Hill Trail. From Mary Cawker to Millie Booth, meet the pioneering women whose hard work and vision brought the stage stop to life.

      Kunta Kinte, Honestly I don’t believe you are an indigenous person, why? I hear you ask, well, because of your screen name, I can’t see any self respecting indigenous person using the name Kunta Kinte” I have only ever heard it being used in tv shows and films about the “Lone Ranger” and I believe is widely held as being derogatory towards indigenous peoples, so come on, are you really a Native American or just a troll looking for an opportunity to be, well, a Troll. As for your prediction of a “storm coming” you are 100% correct, but I don’t think it is quite what you were looking for or expected, the Covid19 pandemic is upon the world, and I doubt anyone saw it coming, we will all have to wait and see if your prediction comes true with the breakdown of society occurring with civil unrest,prisoners rioting, troops on the streets and shortages of everything we take for granted, be careful what you wish for, sometimes wishes become reality, a reality that bites us all in the derrière.

      @@TheKonga88 I 'm thinking that you must be very young. Eventually you will, I trust, appreciate that their are good and evil deeds committed by every culture. Just because someone inhabits a certain culture does not mean that they subscribe it. Even if they do people can and often do change. Think apartheid vs today's south Africa, Viking marauders as forebears of today's Scandinavians. History has been said to be written by the victors of conflicts BUT archaeology reveals what was not written or memorialized. If hate stops now, with you, you can change the world.

    Lol the used carbon dating to determine the house was built either 1858 or 1859? I haven't looked into the science of carbon dating recently but I don't think you can date things to an accuracy of 2 years.

    • @zacharybowen4247
      @zacharybowen4247 4 роки тому

      I don't think it was carbon dateing. It was educated guess. Denver was founded November 22, 1858. So the house had to be built around that time
