A pack train moves along the Oregon Trail near Fort Hall in Bannock County, Idaho. The fort is constructed of mud bricks and has towers, a gate, and gun slots. North American Indians (Shoshone or Bannock) on horseback approach the entrance to the fort. Their pack horses have travois. Covered wagons are parked near the fort. The Snake river is in the distance.
