Sorry! Forgot to check back until late last night & then had to come up w/ the next question.


Here goes.....it's a 3 part question. Probably fairly easy, but I can't find my notes from when we were out there for a week+ last fall. I know there'd be some goodies in there!

Who was the first recorded white man in the Togwotee pass area and in what year? What had he done or where had he been just before that?

John Colter was the first known white man to be in the Togwotee Pass area and it was in the year 1807. I believe he was in Yellowstone trapping just before that.

Close enough.

He was discharged from the Lewis & Clark exp. in Aug 1806 in Mandan, ND, because he wanted to go back & explore some more. All I have is that he was in the Togwotee area, and also the grand Teatons and then Yellowstone, so who knows what order they all happened.


Sorry I was away, again. Got a new grandaughter about 12:30PM today!

Congrats on the New Grandaughter!!! Is this your first?

I was going to say that he was on expedition with Lewis and Clark, but then I read about his trapping in the Yellowstone area and was the first white man to see the wonders of Yellwostone and reported what he saw. They (his being part of the exped. and the trapping) were all about in the same timeline so I wasn't sure exactly when he saw Togwotee Pass.

Now for my next question:

A tribe of Native Americans in WY killed their fattest dogs for a grand feast for what 2 white women?

not sure if there are names?
When the Indians saw the first two white women in Wyoming, they were astonished that such pale creatures could survive the trip, and they killed the fattest dogs to prepare a feast for their guests.

There are names for the 2 women. Keep digging, you'll find them. (a hint: the year was 1836 if that will help)
