The Bozeman Trail

by | Mar 30, 2023 | Renegade Roads, Travel & Preservation

A journey on the historic route goes through the heart of traditional Lakota and Cheyenne hunting areas. John Bozeman’s trail from Fort Laramie, Wyoming (above), to Virginia City, Montana, went through the heart of Crow, Lakota and Cheyenne territory. The Army was sent to protect the gold miners, and the result was the Red Cloud War. John Bozeman Portrait (below) Courtesy True West Archives/Fort Laramie Courtesy Carol M. High
