Description
Tents at Fort Laramie National Historic Site in what is now Goshen County, Wyoming, commemorating the 1851 treaty negotiations with Plains Indians that took place there. In 1849, the U.S. Army took over Fort Laramie, which had been established as Fort John, a private fur-trading post, in order to protect westward-bound emigrants along trails across the Northern Plains. The fort was abandoned in 1890.
