Text

Fisher, "Utah and the Civil War" p. 52 quotes the diary of Dr. Harvey C. Hullinger, of Lot Smith's company of Utah volunteers, sent to guard the immigrant trails: "Friday, June 6, 1862... It rained this afternoon, and the men played ball."

The company was then camped at/near Independence Rock, a site on the Pioneer Trail that is today a historic site.

Is this the first baseball in Wyoming?
