For scarcely more than ten years, Fort Larned made its contribution to the history of the American West. American Indian threats to the Santa Fe Trail led to its founding in 1859. As warfare swept the plains in the 1860s, pitting Native residents against encroaching white Americans, Fort Larned played a vital role. Learn about Fort Larned National Historic Site and its role in this concise book featuring images of the Fort and its surroundings, both modern and historic.
