Fort Laramie and its forgotten tale of daring fort life
The article recalls Fort Laramie as a key West outpost on the Oregon Trail era. It notes the 1820 death of the Ramee by Indigenous people while trapping beaver, the fort as a major rendezvous and defensive site, and its later decline after the government moved to use the land differently. Fort Laramie’s landmarks faded, with Bedlam built in 1849 and later preserved moments amid private sales and abandonment, leaving few original structures and inviting Wyoming pioneers and Judge Gibson Clark to recall its early days.
