Bridger joined the latter company and it was this group that discovered South Pass in the Wind River Mountains. They followed the southwestern route. to the Green River in Wyoming, then west to the Bear River. After exploring Bear Lake, they fol lowed the- Bear River to Soda Springs neross the lava plains to Grace, thru "Oneida Canyon into Willow or Cache Valley. They decided to winter in Cache and explored both the Logan and Blacksmith Fork rivers. A discussion arose as to the source of the Bear River and finally Bridger decided to settle the question by exploring the stream to its mouth. He "made a boat of bull's skin and sailed down the river through the Bear Riv-r Canyon. At the southern end of the canyon he stopped and climbed to the top of the mountain to obtain a view of the beautiful Bear River Valley. He returned to his boat and traversed the remaining distance to the Bear River Bay. He examined the "water .beyond the estuary of the Bay and found it to be salty, and he knew he had reached the body of water that the Indians had described. , s. Between 1826 and 1842 James Brid ger explored the rivers and valleys of Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming. In speak ing of the Bear River Valley, he said that the country was rich in oak timber, sugar trees, pine and maple. There was an abundance of blue grass white clover, and wild berries. In the year of 1843, Fort Bridger was built. This fort became the center of western trade. Here pasturage Id be had for the cattle, repairs aid be made and guides furnished to direct settlers to Oregon, Califor nia, and Utah. When the Mormons came West they stopped at the fort for repairs. Brid-ve- r gave the pioneers a discouraging report of the country around Great Salt Lake and advised the people to go West to California.. Bridger remained at the fort until 1853 when he moved his family to Missouri. Part of the fort was destroyed "but a few years later the government took it over and used it as a station for the Pony Express. The latter part of Bridgets life was spent with his daughter, Mrs. "Weschman, on a farm in Missouri. He died at the age of 77 years. A monument will be dedicated to his honor May 9th, details of which will appear in our next issue. V' - , - -- Final Rites Held for Clifton Tolman Mon.
