Just a matter of picking them up with your bare hands.Now that's what is called a huge pile of...manure. When wood or coal was unavailable on the open prairie to use as fuel for cooking heat and warmth, buffalo and cow dung or chips were an accessible and inexpensive option.Used around the world, cow chips have also been a source of fertilizer, building material, and entertainment like cow pie bingo and catch. ...

220 years ago today - Spain turns the Louisiana Territory over to France in 1803. Come back in 20 days for the rest of the story.#OnThisDate in 1803 When France signed the secret Treaty of Ildefonso with Spain in 1800, Napoleon promised to provide the son-in-law of Spain’s king with a kingdom, if Spain would return Louisiana Territory to France. Napoleon had a vision of a renewed western empire for France, blocking the westward expansion of the young United States, and supplying French colonies in the West Indies with plenty of goods. But Napoleon didn’t plan on problems in the French colony of Saint-Domingue. The loss of the island of Hispaniola quickly altered his need for Louisiana. So, as we know, he sold the imperial rights of the entire Louisiana Territory to the U.S. in April 1803. Either due to the secrecy of the Treaty of Ildefonso, or the lack of military resources to send to Louisiana, France never really reclaimed control of the region. From 1800 to November 30, 1803, Spain continued to oversee the large region west of the Mississippi River. The French sale to the U.S., however, required Spain to acknowledge France’s rights, so on Wednesday, November 30, 1803, Spain's representatives, Governor Manuel de Salcedo and the Marqués de Casa Calvo, officially transferred Louisiana to France's representative, Prefect Pierre Clément de Laussat, in the Sala Capitular (capitol room) in the Cabildo in New Orleans. Laussat had been instructed to, in turn, transfer the area to the United States the next day, December 1. But there was a 20-day delay, so we’ll return to this story on December 20.

Frederick Lander, renowned as the Builder of the Overland Wagon Road, a Civil War General, Military Hero, Explorer, and Surveyor of the Pacific Railroad, was a figure of immense historical significance. Additionally, he was married to the most famous actress of his time. His legacy endures through a city and mountain in Wyoming bearing his name, and he is celebrated as the architect of the Lander Road.The New York Times obituary of March 3, 1862, lamented his passing, stating that the country had lost one of its finest men and soldiers. The tears of his command and the nation accompanied him to the grave.In an enlightening session with Clint Gilchrist, Executive Director of the Museum of the Mountain Man, we delve into the life of this national figure. Tragically lost early in the Civil War, Lander's untimely death curtailed a promising career that some speculate could have led him to the presidency of the United States. ... See MoreSee Less

Ever wonder about animals on the trail?John Hawkins Clark, 1852 emigration to California:Good horses, good mules and good oxen are everything on a journey like this. Job in his day [a reference Job 39:19-25 in the Bible] immortalized the horse and clothed his neck with thunder; but he was silent on the mule, and for what reason I am unable to say. If he has made this journey and had used the mule as a motive power, he would no doubt have done him justice and left to succeeding generations his testimony of the mule's virtues. For our part we love the patient and hardy animal; their ears do not seem half so long as they did at the commencement of this journey. In every way they appear more endurable; if one gets stubborn and kicks our hats off once in a while we let him kick, but are very careful to stop in his way no longer than we can get out of it. Oxen are very reliable, patient and enduring. Thousands of them have made the entire trip and stood it nobly; but they are more liable to get lame than either the horse or mule. They will drink the poisonous water at every opportunity, and many of them are lost in that way; but with good watching they will make the trip. One would think a dog would make the journey very easily, but of the thousands who made the attempt very few succeeded in getting through. Those who had valuable ones let them ride. I know of no dog that has made the entire trip on foot.(NPS Photo of one very good National Trails girl, Molly, for attention and because we would let her ride!) ... See MoreSee Less
