One of three Bozeman Trail Forts, it was a stockade fortification and it enclosed 17 acres. It was the largest of three area outposts and was the site of some of the most violent battles of the Indian Wars between the U.S. Army and Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. Battles led by famous Indians including Chief Red Cloud and a young brave named Crazy Horse.
We will tour the museum and interpretive center and walk the grounds, including the walking tour of the cemetary and Officer's Cabin and noncommissioned officer's quarters. This evening we will travel 18 miles up to UCross and visit their new Western Art museum in a restored Barn and view fireworks there. Stay tuned to pictures that I will put up when we get back.
Have a great Saturday! P.S. In keeping with safety for all my fellow RVers, it's another reminder to check your tires! A deadly accident reported in Nebraska this week cost the lives of two people from the fire that ensued after a front passenger side blow out. Now this morning in an article in RV Travel newsletter, Goodyear is the loser in a lawsuit from marketing dangerous tires. The very tires that I recently replaced this year! G159s. Here's the link to that story.
