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.

  • Task 1C Report for the Powder River Basin Coal Review Current Social and Economic Conditions
    Environment Submitted to: Submitted by: Bureau of Land Management AECOM High Plains District Office and Fort Collins, Colorado Wyoming State Office December 2012 Task 1C Report for the Powder River Basin Coal Review Current Social and Economic Conditions AECOM ES-1 Executive Summary Introduction Energy development in the Wyoming portion of the Powder River Basin (PRB) has been occurring for well over a century. It has been a primary factor affecting social and economic conditions within the region, although the types and magnitude of effects vary by county, community, and timeframe. The first coal mine in the basin was developed near Glenrock, in Converse County, in 1883 (Foulke et al. 2002). Although coal and other energy resources can be found in many areas of Wyoming, the extensive surface-accessible coal resource located in the PRB sets it apart from most other energy-producing areas of the country. During the 1970s and 1980s, the PRB emerged as a major domestic coal-producing region. The surface coal mines that developed during that period are now mature operations, providing a stable economic and social foundation for the region. Historically, energy resource development has been volatile, driven by commodity price fluctuations associated with international and domestic energy demand and policies, environmental regulation and litigation, changing technologies, and transportation constraints and improvements. That volatility has resulted in surges and contractions in local population, employment, income, needs for public services and infrastructure, and other dimensions of social and economic conditions in the affected communities. The growth in domestic energy consumption coupled with the vast energy resource base in the PRB has resulted in a 50-year growth trend in the region without the major economic busts that characterize many other resource booms in the western United States.
