Description | 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 nature of the ball game is not specified. 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 ball game playe din Wyoming? |
