HOLLYWOOD MAGIC AND LARAMIE’S WESTERN HISTORY Laramie is rich in western history; Native Americans, fur trappers, , the UP Railroad and famous outlaws made up just a part of our western heritage. Hollywood built on Laramie’s western heritage to base its movies and TV shows. The 1950s and 1960s were the heyday for westerns, from shows like “Lawman” (1958-62) staring John Russell, “Laramie” (1959-63) staring John Smith and Robert Fuller, films like “The Man From Laramie” (1955) staring James Stewart, “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (1969) staring Paul Newman and Robert Redford to more modern western shows like “Hell on Wheels” starring Anson Mount, Laramie has had its share of western shows. Make sure you’re in town for this year’s Laramie Jubilee Days, with our special guest Robert Fuller - July 13-15, 2017. Go to: visitlaramie.org/robert-fuller/.

PAGE 8 ALBANY COUNTY /LARAMIE AREA VISITOR GUIDE JACQUES LA RAMEE French Canadian fur trader and mountain man Jacques La Ramee arrived in what is now the state of Wyoming in 1815. Five years later he arrived for a season of trapping along the river that now bears his name; he was never seen or heard from again. Details surrounding his disappearance are still unknown, but the town of Laramie, two rivers, a fort, a county and a mountain peak bear his name today.

FORT SANDERS Originally established as a military post on July 19, 1866, Fort Sanders was first known as Fort John Buford and later named for General William P. Sanders. Very little of the mostly wooden fort exists today other than some of the original stones of the guard house. This fort was built to protect travelers on the Overland Trail and workers who were constructing the Union Pacific Railway from hostile Indian attacks. Remnants can still be seen three miles south of Laramie on Highway 287.

Fort Sanders 1868 U.S. Grant holding coat - Photo by American Heritage Center THE ARRIVAL OF UNION PACIFIC Union Pacific construction crews laid the track connecting Laramie to the rest of the country on May 4, 1868; a few passengers arrived the same day and regular service began less than a week later. The arrival of the railroad inspired entrepreneurs to build more permanent structures in what had been a “Hell on Wheels” tent city. For a few months Laramie was the western hub of the Union Pacific Railroad, but even after track was laid to points further west, Laramie’s reputation- and Union Pacific Engine No. 23 population- continued to grow. Sherman, Wyoming, 1868 A BRIGHT IDEA In August of 1878, famed inventor Thomas Edison traveled to what is now the state of Wyoming to observe a solar eclipse. During his stay he came up with the idea for a filament light bulb, either while staring into a campfire or when his fly fishing rod broke in two. This invention led to the first electrical plant in the Rocky Mountains, located in present day Laramie, which lit up the Louisa Swain was the first woman in the world surrounding night sky and earned the to cast a ballot under the law giving women full equality to men in Albany County Wyoming Laramie the nickname the September 6, 1870.
