Fort Reno (Wyoming)
Fort Reno also known as Fort Connor or Old Fort Reno, was a wooden Fort constructed established on August 15, 1865 by the United States Army in Dakota Territory in present-day Johnson County, Wyoming. The fort was built to protect travelers on the Bozeman Trail from Native American tribes.
==Establishment==
One of the primary goals of the Powder River Expedition, of 1865 was to construct a Fort on the Powder River, in Montana Territory or Dakota Territory. The Powder River Expedition's Left, or Western column of about 650 men under the command of Colonel James H. Kidd of the 6th Michigan Cavalry, and accompanied by the three expeditions' overall commander Brigadier General Patrick E. Connor set out from Fort Laramie, Dakota Territory on August 1, 1865. Army units with the column included four Companies of the 6th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, Companies E, and K, of the 11th Ohio Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, Company F, of the 7th Iowa Volunteer Cavalry Regiment, a detachment of the United States Signal Corps, and a section of two Model 1841 Mountain Howitzer Cannon manned by 14 soldiers of the 2nd Missouri Volunteer Light Artillery Regiment.
On August 15, 1865 Colonel Kidd's column selected the site of the Fort on a bluff above the Powder River. Construction began the same day by the four Companies of the 6th Michigan Volunteer Cavalry Regiment that had recently been transferred from the Army of the Potomac, in Virginia. The new post was named Fort Connor in honor of Brigadier General Patrick Edward Connor, the overall commander of the Powder River Expedition. In August, 1865 Fort Connor was the jumping-off point for the United States soldiers that fought at the Battle of the Tongue River, on August 29, 1865, in present-day Sheridan County, Wyoming. The Left, Right, and Center columns of the Powder River Expedition all finally rendezvoused at Fort Connor on September 25, 1865. The three Columns consisted of detachments from the following regiments, the 2nd Missouri Artillery, 2nd California Cavalry, 6th Michigan Cavalry, 7th Iowa Cavalry, 11th Ohio Cavalry, 12th Missouri Cavalry, 15th Kansas Cavalry, and the 16th Kansas Cavalry, along with detachments of the U.S. Signal Corps, and the Pawnee Scouts. Most of these men marched south to Fort Laramie in October, 1865 to be mustered out of the army, leaving four companies of the 6th Michigan Cavalry under Colonel James H. Kidd to garrison the fort.
