SCOPE AND CONTENT

The collection consists of letters written to and from Dr. William Bell. They range in date from early 1870 to 1891 but are concentrated in the years 1871 and 1872. The subjects of the letters are varying, although most center around the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and Dr. Bell's other business ventures, including:
The National Land Company, The Central Colorado Improvement Company, Porter, Bell, and Company, and The Colorado Cheese Company in Wet Mountain Valley.

The letters dealing with the formation of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad demonstrate the extensive planning for the construction of the railroad south of Denver. They also illustrate Dr. Bell's friendship and partnership with General William J. Palmer and William S. Rosencrans (the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico.) Many of the letters are concerned with pooling money for the venture, others regard the gathering of supplies and support for the railroad to materialize.

The collection also contains numerous personal letters written to Dr. Bell. There are several letters from his mother, father, and uncles as well as many personal letters throughout the collection from business peers. There are also letters written to Bell concerning the construction of Briarhurst, his mansion in Manitou Springs.

Additional references on Dr. Bell's life and his business ventures are found in Marshal Sprauge's Newport in the Rockies and Herbert Brayer's, William Blackmore, A Case Study in the Economic Development of the West. Additional information concerning the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad is available in MS 0257, a collection of letters between General Palmer and Dr. Bell concentrating on the developing railroad.
