Fort Laramie park history
Mattes MJ. 1980. Fort Laramie park history. National Park Service, Department of the Interior. Washington, DC
The purpose of this study is to document the origins of the park unit established by Presidential Proclamation as a National Monument in 1938 and to provide an integrated narrative account of events since then, dominated by the one major theme- “The Restoration”. The immediate purpose of this history is to provide an official documented report that should serve as an important reference work for all responsible and conscientious park and Regional Office employees, present and future. Whether one’s primary function is administration, interpretation, protection, research, or planning, certainly a vital ingredient of intelligent management of any of these departments is knowledge of what has gone before.
