Fort Laramie....

As it is now, restored for the most part
...Wyoming, a living part of the Old West,
fur traders, soldiers and cowboys, held cards close to their vest,
the fort thrived and teemed with people from all walks of life;
but, back then, there was no place for a soldiers wife.

Built in 1834 as a private fur company,
it's location was important, so a fort it came to be,
now peace has been restored, the danger is in the cars,
it's nice to know we have a place like this, to come and see the stars.
