Bozeman Trail, 1863-1868  Annals of Wyoming 70:2:3-11 By Susan Badger Doyle 
"The emigrant and military routes of the Bozeman Trail resulted from the
complex interaction of particular people, events, and geography during
the brief Bozeman Trail era, 1863-1868. The four men responsible for
developing the various segments of the trail were Jim Bridger, John
Bozeman, James Sawyers, and Allen Hurlbut. In terms of the final route
of the trail, the one we now call the Bozeman Trail, Bridger was
responsible for a greater number of trail miles than the other three
combined. While John Bozeman doggedly pursued his vision of opening a
shortcut to the Montana goldfields, without Jim Bridger, there would be
no Bozeman Trail."
