Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Frontier Mail Carriers Before the postal service established mail routes on the frontier, wagon trains and travelers often exchanged letters to be carried to their destinations of a post office. On May 4, 1847, the Mormon Pioneer Company and a small band of fur traders from Fort Laramie made such an exchange about eight miles west of this location. Fur Trader Charles Beaumont crossed the Platte River and offered to carry letters east to the Missouri River.
