Fort Laramie 175th Anniversary
Title:
Fort Laramie 175th Anniversary
Description:
Fort Laramie National Historic site near Torrington, Wyoming is marking the 175th anniversary of mountain men, Native Americans, and Midwestern U.S. business concerns first meeting along the Platte River in eastern Wyoming to trade goods in 1834. We visit the fort for this feature that includes remarks from park ranger Joe Reasoner (a shirttail relation of newsman Harry) and Scott Walker of Fort Collins, Colorado who has been portraying a mountaineer for many years. Fort William was the original name of this location and it was to become the first permanent settlement in what is now the state of Wyoming.
