A.V. Hunter - The Man and His Vision
Born Absalom Valentine Hunter on November 24, 1846 in Lincoln County, Missouri, A.V. Hunter, as he came to be know, was drawn to the west as a young man. After trying cattle ranching for a short time, he established himself as a banker in Colorado Springs.
The American West of the late 1800's conjures up visions of fortunes being made and lost in the boom towns of the day. Gold, silver, copper, and lead were being mined, and everyone dreamed of striking it rich. In 1878, the mining boom was infull swing in Oro City, now known as Leadville. The town drew hopefuls from every walk of life, including 32 year old A.V. Hunter, who moved there to establish a bank, the very first in town.
