Astorian Incident
North of 191/189 Junction on U.S. Highway 191/189

On this site, October 18, 1811, sixty one Astorians of the American fur comany, the squaw of Pierre Dorian and her two children, with one hundred and eighteen horses camped for 5 days. They were on their way to the pacific Ocean from Montreal via St. Louis. Here they met, traded and powwowed with the Snake Indians, killed buffalo and cured meat. Continuing their journey, they crossed the divide one mile north of here on to the waters of the Columbia River. These were the first white men in what is now Sublette County.
