United States of America, Fort Laramie Military Stores, uniface square 50-Cent check, 1883, 35mm; together with miscellaneous USA transportation and other tokens (28), from New York, Wilmington, Buffalo, Colorado Springs, Baltimore, Honolulu, etc. [29]. Mostly very fine, some better (£40-50)

In 1885 a deputation of women from the Fort went to Washington to plead with their Senator to allow them to shop in Laramie itself, as prices were cheaper there
