13. J.K. Moore’s Trading Post, ca. 1890s
(Wind River Archives, Central Wyoming College)
 J.
K. Moore’s trading post at Fort Washakie, located where the
present Fort Washakie post office now stands, like the Agency, was
a central meeting place. Women brought their beadwork there to sell
or exchange for a few groceries, it served as a gathering point
for Whites and Indians alike.
Queechen did not see anyone he knew at the office so he wandered
over to the J. K. Moore trading post where he met and talked with
friends he had not seen since his days at the Government school.
