Wyoming
Bryan
One mile north of this spot stood the boom town of
Bryan, founded in 1868 as a division point of the Union
Pacific Railroad it grew rapidly and had at one time as many
as five thousand inhabitants. A twelve stall roundhouse and
huge freight warehouses were constructed and from the
latter canvas-topped wagons piled high with goods of all
types departed daily for the South Pass gold mines eighty
miles northeast. The water supply soon proved inadequate
and when the South pass gold mining bubble had burst
the railroad moved its division headquarters to Green
River and Bryan became a ghost town.
