Description
Through the Windows of Time by Debra Martz
Walls and window openings are all that remain on a number of the administrative buildings and barracks at Fort Laramie National Historic Site in Wyoming.
Fort Laramie was decommissioned in 1890. Under the command of Lt. C. W. Taylor, 30 cavalry soldiers and civilian mechanics removed doors, windows, flooring, and any other material from the buildings that was thought to be of value to the government. The last soldiers left Fort Laramie on April 20, 1890. All but one of the structures were sold at auction to private citizens, and the entire military reservation, which was nine miles long and six miles wide, was opened up to homesteaders for settlement on October 5, 1891.
