Jim Bridger: Founder of Bridger Wyoming and Famous Indian Fighter
JIM BRIDGER: FOUNDER OF BRIDGER, WYOMING, AND FAMOUS INDIAN FIGHTER
By
CHARLES H. L. JOHNSTON
Author of “Famous Cavalry Leaders,” “Famous Indian Chiefs,” “Famous Scouts,” etc.
IN THE LOWER CORNER OF the mighty state of Wyoming is a town named after one of the most noted of the trappers of the West—Jim Bridger—who not only fought Indians but also traded and trapped in many an unexplored portion of the once unknown regions near the Rocky Mountains. Fort Bridger—a strong stockade near by—received its name from this famous plainsman, who hailed from Illinois, and who was not only of humble, but also of somewhat unrespectable parentage. Young Jim ran away, when quite young, in order to escape the hard usage which was his lot at home. On the border he soon made his mark, for he was not only a great rifle shot but also a man of unusual strength and agility.
