List of Historic Forts of the American West

OLD WEST LEGENDS

List of Old West Forts

There are literally hundreds of Old West forts across the American West, ranging from military posts, to fortresses established by fur trading companies, to private enterprises built solely to protect the pioneers within. Though many of these old forts are long gone, there are dozens of others that continue to stand, some restored and some in ruins, across the vast west.

"Fort Laramie is one of the posts established

by the American Fur Company, who

well-nigh monopolized the Indian trade

of this whole region."
