James Robert Bachman passed away February 17, 2024, at Estes Park Hospital. He was born in 1932 in Omaha , Nebraska. He received his Ph.D in History at Rochester University, NY. In 1987 he married Hulda, a citizen of the Netherlands, through a mutual friend while Hulda was stationed at the Netherlands Embassy in New Delhi. Jim as well as Hulda were married for the first time as they both loved their careers. As a professional historian Jim was interested in 18th century Georgian architecture, which led him to George Washington’s Headquarters at Valley Forge. His entire life he was fascinated with the structure of the Headquarters and finally published a book: “Washington’s Headquarters at Valley Forge, a Biography of a National Shrine”. The Encampment Store at Valley Forge has several of Jim’s books for their interpreters.
Jim ended his career to be with Hulda at her various employments with the Netherlands Embassies. In 1997 Hulda also ended her career. After they had restored a pre-civil war house in Virginia, they moved to Estes Park in 2002. Jim is survived by nieces and a nephew and their families and by his Dutch family. He was preceded in death by his parents Frederick Bachman and Anna Faye (Goodman), his sister Betty Buehner and his brother Joe Bachman.
He will be buried in Omaha, Nebraska, next to his parents.
No funeral services are planned.
