CHRONOLOGY

Every civilized country on the face of the globe is the product of evolution. In the process of development event follows event like the links in a chain, each the effect of one that preceded it and the cause of one or more that follow after it. In the foregoing chapters a conscientious effort has been made to show Vol. 1-41

HISTORY OF WYOMING
the progress of Wyoming along industrial, educational, professional and religious lines, as well as the part the state has taken in the military affairs of the nation and its political history. As a fitting conclusion to this work, the following summary of events leading up to the settlement, organization of the territory and the admission of the state, with more recent events which have a bearing upon some phase of the state's history, has been compiled for ready reference.
At first glance many of these events may seem to have no connection with Wyoming's career, or at least a very remote one, yet each event is the corollary of something that went before. For example: The treaty of September 3, 1783, ending the Revolutionary war was negotiated years before the present State of Wyoming had a single white inhabitant. But that treaty fixed the western boundary of the United States at the Mississippi River, which twenty years later led to the purchase of the Province of Louisiana, in which the larger part of Wyoming was included. In like manner, the organization of the Hudson's Bay Company may appear out of place in a list of events affecting Wyoming, but it was the first of the great fur companies, whose agents and employees carried back to the East a knowledge of the Indian tribes and the possibilities of the fur trade in the Rocky Mountain region, thus paving the way for all the trappers and traders that followed.
THE SUMMARY

, 1743. In this year Verendrye and his associates visited the Wind River country. They were the first white men of whom there is any account to set foot on Wyoming soil.

October 27, 1795. The Treaty of Madrid concluded, granting to the people of the United States the free navigation of the Mississippi River and the right of deposit at New Orleans.
October 1, 1800. Secret Treaty of San Ildefonso by which Spain retroceded Louisiana to France.
March 21, 1801. The Treaty of San Ildefonso was ratified by the Treaty of Madrid.
