Book Synopsis Fort Bridger, Island in the Wilderness by : Fred R. Gowans
Book excerpt: History of the fort established by Jim Bridger as a trading post for the fur trappers. The fort had four separate locations. It became a way station for the emigrants moving to California or to Utah, and a military fort. When by-passed by the railroad in 1868, it declined in importance. The Fort became a state park.
