| Approximately 2 miles northwest from here is the location of the cabin built by Robert Stuart’s party of Astorians. They were enroute from Astoria to St. Louis to report to John Jacob Astor the fate of his ship, which was destroyed by Indians, and the crew killed. Stuart and six companions left Astoria June 29, 1812, and reached Wyoming in November after winter had set in. Footsore and hungry, they found game plentiful here and built a cabin. They had planned to stay until spring, but after Indians discovered their cabin, they left in the night and continued eastward down the river. |
