This study is one of three parts comprising a historic resources study for Fort Laramie National Historic Site and encompasses the fur trade era, the military era, and the years subsequent to army occupation. This report is one of three parts comprising a Historic Resources Study for Fort Laramie National Historic Site. The scope of the study encompasses the fur trade era, the military era, and the years subsequent to army occupation up to the eve of its acquisition by the National Park Service in 1938. A general introduction has already been prepared for the study, therefore none is presented herein. It should also be taken into consideration that two historians have written the chronological narratives at different times, the post-military era being the first completed. Consequently the reader may perceive a degree of overlap in transitioning from one era to another.
