Fort Bonneville Sisk-ke-dee Agia
(Green River) Oregon 1832
About 3 miles west of Daniel on State Highway 354

Here, in July, 1832, Captian Benjamin Bonneville erected a fort, two block houses and a stockade, for protection from the Blackfoot Indians. He was on leave from the U. S. Army, with his trapping and exploring group of 110 men and 20 wagons. These were the first wagons to cross Southpass. The party scattered and trapped for several years, doing valuable exploring as far as California and the Columbia River. In the party was the famed Joe Walker, Joe Meeks and many Delaware Indians. The fort, a strategic site, was not used in winter. Bonneville and most of his party returned to Missouri August 22, 1835.
