[Hosea Stout Diary] Sat July 22nd 1848. Went on a few miles and baited our cattle & proceeded on over a hilly & barren, land crossing Larimie Fork a deep swift handsome stream, & in a short distance we came to old Fort Larimie which is now in ruins[.] The new Fort is two miles above on the Laramie Fork.
After looking around the old Fort awhile to satisfy our curiosity we went on over barren & desolate looking bottoms some five miles and encamped on the river turning our cattle over on the other side for grass which was tolerable good. Sister Fulmer was delivered of a child to night.
