Label Text“In the days of the ‘forty-niners’ and of Covered wagons, one of the great routes to the West curled its rugged way across the entire breadth of the state of Wyoming. This great artery of the westward movement, though commonly known as the Oregon Trail, was also the main route to Montana, Idaho, Washington, Utah and northern California. Fort Laramie, Wyoming, was its busiest stop and the pioneers pushing westward refitted and rested here.” Sidney Waugh
