Six miles from Soda Springs at
the present Alexander, the Trail
turned again to the Northwest
over rough country.
It led to the Ross Fork of the
Snake River, thence west to his
toric Fort Hall, a Hudson’s Bay
trading post near the junction of
the Snake and Port Neuf Rivers.
Its location was near the pres
ent Pocatello. Fort Hall was a
busy and important post on the
Oregon Trail. It was built in 1834
by Nathaniel Wyeth, an American
trader from Boston, and named
for Henry Hall, the oldest mem
ber of the Boston company.
Cottonwood logs,' set on end,
rose fifteen feet from the ground.
The enclosure was 80 feet square
and bastions at diagonal corners
commanded all approaches to the
fort.
It was completed August 4,
1834, and the Amercian flag was
raised the following <iay. Captain
Joseph Thing was in command
with a garrison of twelve men.
Wyeth soon found that he could
not compete with the Hudson's
Bay Company, so he sold out to
the British in 1837.
The fort was rebuilt of sun-
dried bricks (adobe), and increas
ed to one hundred feet square in
size. In a setting of green mead
ows with gray hills in the back
ground. the fort presented a wel
come sight. Past it ran two rivers,
the Port Neuf and the Snake,
their banks bordered with cotton
wood and willow. Captain Richard
(Johnnie) Grant was in charge
from 1842 to 1851, where he en
joyed great popularity among
mountain men and emigrants
alike.
