After a comical skit by die Wehloes Den on Doctors, Frederic Meyer, Cubmaster, presented awards to the billowing boys: for such jaunts. If you are interested in history at all, there are three sights within a 70 mile drive of Dugway. All of these attractions contribute heavily to the history of the state of Utah. The first attraction, and also the most accessible, is the frame and adobe Carson Inn, the Overland Stage and Pony Express station that is now maintained by the Utah State Park Commission. The Inn was built in 1858, three years after the village of Fairfield was established, and is the sole building left in its nearly original state dating back to that rowdy historical period. Restored hy the Park Commission, the old station is open to visitors each day during the summer months and is located on State Highway 73 in Cedar Valley just south of the Oquirih Mountains. The Fairfield community also flourished mightily in 1858 and 1859 with the arrival of troops led by Colonel Alliert Sidney Johnston and the establishment of Camp Floyd. The 2,500 troops, sent to police the troubled Utah territory that had lieen proclaimed a state of sulixtantial reliel-lio- n by the United States eminent a year earlier, set up their encampment across the street from the Carson homestead, Immediately, teamsters, gainli- lers, tradesmen, and saloon keep-ers flocked to the no longer still and lazy valley, and by I860, the population was estimated at 7, (XX). However, when word of a possible civil war threatened liack east, Johnston marched off to gain considerable fame as a gen- eral with the Southern forces. After the withdrawal of John- ston and his troops, approximately 3(X) federal volunteers recruited in California and Nevada moved into Camp Floyd to guard the Utah Territory against rumored withdrawal from the Union. Commanded' by Colonel Patrick Edward Connor, the volunteers guard both the mail rid- ers and stages traveling between the Oquirrhs and Nevada.
