History in Brief

Anachronism Package Blurb

"Jim Bridger possessed an extraordinarily tough constitution, which allowed him to survive the harshest conditions of the Colorado Rockies, where he trapped and explored for many years. He began his career at 17 as one of “Ashley’s Hundred,” a group of trappers, scouts, and mountain men recruited by General William Ashley to explore the upper reaches of the Missouri River. He was one of the first non-natives to see the geysers of Yellowstone, the incredible qualities of which he described with great gusto (Bridger was renowned for his love of tall tales). Bridger’s Pass, which he discovered in 1850, shortened the Oregon Trail by 61 miles and became the route for Interstate 80. Bridger also served as a scout against Red Cloud in the first Powder River Expedition. He died in July 1881."
