ABOUT THE BOOK: FORT HALL, famous trading station of the Northwest, considered by Ezra Meeker the most important point on the Oregon Trail, stood on the banks of the Snake River in the southern part of what is now the State of Idaho. It had a dramatic, a thrilling and a colorful history. For over two decades (1834-1856), fur trappers and Oregon Trail wagon trains passed by the doors of this adobe fort. Nathaniel Wyeth, an ambitious Bostonian, built the post in 1834 but soon sold his holdings to the Hudson's Bay Company, whose staff took over in 1838. British Fort Hall continued to welcome travelers even though it became United States territory in 1846. The site is currently part of the Fort Hall Reservation and is administered by the Shoshone-Bannock Tribal Council. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark on October 15, 1966. A Fort Hall replica, located at Pocatello's Ross Park, is open to the public.
