Summary

DescriptionFort laramie cyark final.jpg	English: Fort John (later site of Fort Laramie) on the Oregon Trail was originally built of logs in 1834, then rebuilt in adobe in 1841. This digital reconstruction from a NPS/CyArk project is based on archaeological data, descriptions, and illustrations from the period when the Fort still stood. It shows the south and east facades of the high-walled Fort John, which as a private trading post was fortified to prevent theft rather than out of fear of an attack. Fort John fell into disuse following the military takeover of the Fort in 1849 and disappeared from records by 1860.
