WYOMING WILL BE YOUR NEW HOME . .: RANCHING, FARMING, AND HOMESTEADING IN WYOMING 1860-1960 Michael Cassity © 2010 WYOMING STATE HISTORIC PRESERVATION OFFICE WYOMING STATE PARKS AND CULTURAL RESOURCES RESEARCH SOURCES The following list includes most of the sources that have proven helpful in the research for this Historic Context Study of Wyoming ranching, farming, and homesteading. This is not an exhaustive list, and new studies continue to emerge and old documents are continually unearthed for fresh exploration. But this compilation should prove useful to people embarking on an inquiry into the patterns of history in Wyoming agriculture as system of production and way of life.

  • Campbell County History

    Campbell County History

    Campbell County History Early Expeditions: Information about the first European explorers and trappers to enter the Powder River Basin is very limited and confirmation on exact routes and locations will never be known. Some of the earliest expeditions believed to have been in the region include the Francois and Louis-Joseph Verendrye in 1743, Charles LaRaye in 1802, and Francois Antoine Laroque in 1805. Wyoming historian T. A. Larson believes the first American trapper in Northeast Wyoming was John Colter during the winter of 1807-1808. He returned three years later with Alexander Henry and approximately thirty other trappers. Ezekiel Williams and Jean Baptiste Champlain and a party of twenty-one trappers worked the Belle Fourche River in 1911. That same year saw Wilson Price Hunt and an expedition of men sent out by John Jacob Astor crossed the basin. The overland Astorians, as they became known, were headed for the Columbia River drainage and envisioned a series of fur trading posts stretching from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Ocean. The Powder River Basin was not prime trapping country, but was often traversed in order to get to the better streams to the west and also was used as a winter camp location by trappers. Robert Campbell and a party of Rocky Mountain Fur Company men spent the winter on Powder River in 1828. Father DeSmet, a Jesuit priest, traveled through the basin in 1851 and made reference to the “Gourd Buttes,” which are now known as the Pumpkin Buttes in Campbell County. A wealthy Irishman by the name of Sir George Gore and a large party of men and wagons entered the basin in 1855 on an extravagant hunting and fishing expedition.

So it was with this book. Given the limited amount of public information on the Bear Creek (Kendrick) Sheep Raid, information had to be pieced together one bit at a time from widely diverse sources. The list of contributors to this story was many and varied. I received valuable input from many people in the Birney and Otter communities of Montana in the form of oral history and stories from the time of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. Specifically, the Brewster, Brown, and Alderson families from Birney were very forthcoming with old photographs and stories.

His column was one of three comprising the Powder River Indian Expedition sent to secure the Bozeman and other emigrant trails leading to the Montana mining fields. During the Battle of Tongue River, Connor was able to inflict serious damage on the Arapahos, but an aggressive counter attack forced him to retreat back to the newly estab- lished Fort Connor (later renamed Reno) on the banks of the Powder River. There he received word that he had been reassigned to his old command in the District of Utah. The Powder River Expedition, one of the most comprehensive campaigns against the Plains Indians, never completely succeeded. Connor had planned a complex operation only to be defeated by bad weather, inhospitable ter- Section 3 rain, and hostile Indians. Long term effects of the Expedition proved detrimental to the inter- ests of the Powder River tribes. The Army, with the establishment of Fort Connor (Reno) increased public awareness of this area which Devils Tower near Sundance. in turn caused more emigrants to use the Bozeman Trail.

    G. Summary of identification and Evaluation Methods Discuss the methods used in developing the multiple property listing. The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality, using federal financial assistance, contracted with the Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office to conduct an intensive cultural resource inventory of the Bozeman Trail in Wyoming. This historic resource received priority because it passes through the Powder River Basin, an area heavily impacted by energy development. The study area for the inventory included the corridor paralleling and containing the trail as well as historic sites associated with the route. The object was to identify and inventory the trail's cultural resources and evaluate those resources for their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The survey and inventory work will also assist in planning future mining and energy exploration in Converse, Campbell, Johnson and Sheridan Counties and for review and compliance activities of the Wyoming SHPO. |X I See continuation sheet H.

  • Stock-Raising, Ranching, and Homesteading in the Powder River Basin

    Stock-Raising, Ranching, and Homesteading in the Powder River Basin

    STOCK-RAISING, RANCHING, AND HOMESTEADING IN THE POWDER RIVER BASIN HISTORIC CONTEXT STUDY February 15, 2007 Michael Cassity, Ph.D. Historical research and Photography 304 West Albuquerque Broken Arrow, Oklahoma 74011 Phone: 918 / 451-8378 y FAX: 918 / 451-8379 [email protected] Abstract This study explores the settlement and development of northeastern Wyoming, an area known as the Powder River Basin, from the removal of the Native American inhabitants in the 1870s to 1940. The focus of the investigation is ranching (both cattle and sheep) and farming activities in that time period, and especially the role of homesteading which often included both ranching and farming. In fact, homesteading itself included the taking up of the public domain by individuals under a series of land laws not limited to the 1862 Homestead Act. While there was a diversity of land use activities, including the development of small farms, the Texas system of cattle ranching early came to dominate the area, but after natural calamity and social crisis, that system gave way to small farms and ranches, and those settlers came to the area in increasing numbers. And even though sheep grazing increased dramatically, the small farms continued to grow and the practice of dry farming enabled the parts of the area that were not naturally watered or irrigable to support crop-raising activities. In the early twentieth century a revolution in agricultural technology both enhanced production and undermined the system of small farm agriculture that had once prevailed and farming activity—and farms too—continued to expand in the area.
