Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The original Fort Caspar was a military post of the United States Army, named after Caspar Collins, a U.S. Army lieutenant who was killed in the 1865 Battle of the Platte Bridge Station against the Lakota and Cheyenne Indians. Originally founded in 1859 as a trading post and toll bridge on the Oregon Trail, the post was later taken over by the Army and named Platte Bridge Station to protect emigrants and the telegraph line against Indian raids. The site of the fort is now owned and operated by the City of Casper as the Fort Caspar Museum and Historic Site.
