FORT PHIL KEARNY: An American Saga
The U.S. Army built Fort Phil Kearny in the foothills of Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains in 1866 to protect travelers on the Bozeman Trail headed to Montana's gold fields. The flood of gold seekers led to direct competition with the allied tribes for food and supplies, and a series of violent encounters ended in the Fetterman Fight on December 21, 1866. Photos.
