The Rendezvous arose from necessity and shrewd trade sense of General William Ashley. After fixed posts failed amid rough trails and Indian hostility, he moved traders on horseback and set meeting sites. The first Green River gathering in 1824 drew a small group, then expanded as drums and smoke signals invited trappers and distant Indians to a lively trade and festivity.
