Fort Churchill, Nevada (Part 1)
There were many forts across the west, some military and some for trading. Fort Churchill was strictly to provide a military presence to protect travellers to and from the gold and silver rush areas near Lake Tahoe and over the Sierras into California from Indians. The fort was in place for several years before the threat was diminished and the transcontinental railroad ended the need for wagon trains.

Paulina, Shoshone Chief
Chief Paulina was not a chief by birth but by experience and leadership. He represented his native Shoshone tribe but also their affiliated kin such as the Paiutes. He didn't wait for white man to cheat him, but instead went on the offensive. He is one of the lesser known Indian chiefs of the wild west.

The Pony Express
Much has been told of the Pony Express, yet it was only in existence for 18 months. It came into being as a way of delivering the mail from the settled east to the unsettled west without having to wait for a ship to sail around South America or a wagon train to come across the continent. Fast riders, working in relays, could bring the mail to Sacramento in as little as ten days.
