The Life & Times of James Kerr Moore: Indian Trader & Military Sutler Based on the recollections, research, family photographs, and an unpublished manuscript by Evelyn Bell, granddaughter of J. K. Moore Editing and additional material by Henry E. Stamm, IV, Ph.D. Sponsored by a grant from the Lucius Burch Center for Western Tradition and the participation of Evelyn Bell in selection of materials and photographs
The life of James K. Moore, Sr., is intricately entwined with the early history of the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming and what would become Fort Washakie, the U.S. Army post that was established on the reservation. The content of this website contains his biography, stories and events from the history of Fort Washakie, and numerous photographs. The photos, some taken by Moore, others by one of his sons and namesake, James K. Moore, Jr. (Evelyn Bell's father), present images of Indians, soldiers, and Fort Washakie from approximately 1883 through the 1930s. The Gallery Index contains sub-headings for the photographs, while Ft. Washakie Tales include anecdotes and stories about life at the fort.
