Ansel Watrous
Ansel Watrous (November 1, 1835 – August 5, 1927) was an American newspaper publisher of the Fort Collins Courier and a historian. Born in New York, nine-year old Watrous moved with his family to Wisconsin and lived there six years until his father died of cholera. The family moved back east and Watrous was an apprentice carpenter, before returning to Wisconsin where he married and worked in construction, retail, and politics until he settled in Colorado in 1878.
A longtime resident of Fort Collins, CO., Watrous was a newspaper publisher, editor, and journalist. He is noted for History of Larimer County, Colorado (1911), the first comprehensive published history of the county. In retirement, he worked as a justice of the peace and continued to write articles for the newspaper.
A Forest Service campground in the Poudre Canyon in the Roosevelt National Forest northwest of Fort Collins was named for him.
