Owl Woman lived a life filled with triumph and tragedy. She was the first wife of Colonel William Bent, who established Bent’s Fort in Southern Colorado.
Despite her many hardships, she endeavored to aid relations between the Native Americans and the white man throughout her life. It is because of these efforts that she was named to the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame.
