Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company

Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company was a Colorado bean sourcing and origination business that later became part of Trinidad Benham. On the company’s official history page, Trinidad Benham says its roots go back to 1917, when Trinidad Bean & Elevator Company began in Colorado; in 1978, it merged with Benham & Company of Texas to form the modern business.

As a book creator, the company is credited by Project Gutenberg for The Western Cowboy and Arabians in the Rockies. That gives this “author” entry a slightly unusual background: it represents a business entity rather than a single writer, and the work itself reflects the company’s close connection to ranching, agriculture, and Western life.

Because the available sources focus much more on the company’s business history than on individual contributors, there is not much confirmed biographical detail beyond its role as a long-running agricultural company with roots in Colorado and a place in the history of Trinidad Benham.
