CREDITS:
Road Ranch Wyoming, 1885. Near Fort Fetterman. Dalgleish Photo.
BACKGROUND:
Stagecoach lines brought news, mail, and passengers to distant and isolated western towns during the 19th century. Stops along the route broke up the long, monotonous, and sometimes dangerous journey. The image in this photo shows a station located on a route connecting Cheyenne, Wyoming with the gold fields in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Robbers Roost was known as a dangerous lawless place at the time having derived its name from the many robberies in the area because of the gold rush. Only real cowboys were said have the courage to traverse the area.
NOTE:
We have been able to locate a second (different angle) Dalgliesh photograph of this same Stagecoah and Road Ranch at The Ford Museum in Detroit. On that photo, the credits on front read: Robbers Roost, Road Ranch And Stagecoach WYO TER,1885. On the verso of that photo, Dalgliesh has hand written the following inscription: "Robbers Roost, near the Crazy Woman Creek, was built by the holdups. The name, Crazy Woman Creek, a white woman that had been captured by the Indians was rescued from the Indians but had lost her mind."
