Fort Laramie — Interior of the original Fort Laramie as it looked prior to 1840. Painting from memory by Alfred Jacob Miller
In this scene Miller has provided the only visual record of the first Fort Laramie, erected in 1834. Located in eastern Wyoming, the fort marked the beginning of what would later become the Oregon Trail, the route that was taken by settlers moving west.
