Tom Sun Ranch, also known as Sun Ranch, is a historic site along the old Oregon Trail and Mormon Trail, about 6 mi (9.7 km) west of Independence Rock, Wyoming on Wyoming Highway 220. ==History== The ranch's builder, Tom Sun, was a French-Canadian frontiersman who later became a pioneer cattleman.〔 During the 1870s and 1880s the ranch was typical of many medium-sized ranching operations in cattle country. In 1882, ''The Cheyenne Daily Leader'', remarked that "the eastern person of inquiring turn of mind who writes to his friends out west to ask what a ranch is like would find his answer in a description of Tom Sun's." The ranch site was declared a National Historic Landmark on December 19, 1960.〔〔 and .〕 At the time of its nomination as a landmark it was one of the best preserved ranches from the cattle ranging period and was in size.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tom Sun Ranch」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
