Forts Across the United States – Legends of America (original) (raw)
Fort Smith, Arkansas
There are hundreds of old forts nationwide, ranging from military posts to fortresses established by fur trading companies to private enterprises built solely to protect the pioneers. Though many of these old forts are long gone, dozens of others continue to stand, some restored, some in ruins, and others still serve as active posts.
“Fort Laramie is one of the posts established by the American Fur Company, who practically monopolized the Indian trade of this whole region. ”
