James Bridger began as a fur trapper in 1822. "During the next twenty years, he repeatedly traversed the area between the Canadian boundary and the southern line of Colorado and from the Missouri River westward to Idaho and Utah. He was the first white man, sa far as is known to visit (Fall of 1824) Great Salt Lake. He established a way-station, Fort Bridger, on the Oregon Trail in southwestern Wyoming in 1843".
