Of this post to the Astors can be seen
when 1t Is told that the hides Of 47,000
buffalo were shipped to st. Louis from
the post in a single year. But by

John Jacob Astor had fur-trading
post just century ago.
The first link in the chain was
forged by the Astor traders in 1912.
The second was created when young
William H. Force came to Wyoming
thirty years ago and purchased a
ranch upon which we're the remains Of
the old kstor trading post. The third
has to do with the time when Kate
Talmadge of New York came to visit
Forces sister and remained to marry
the brother. the courtship taking place
around the old trading post. The fourth
link was the birth of little Madeline
Force. Other links are the marriage
Of Madeline Force and John Jacob As.

way in which he handled such deadly

He spoke of the reptiles as one

superstition and were not warranted
