Article deals with the deterioration of relations between Jim Bridger and the Mormons and of the Mormons buying out Bridger and his partner in 1855. Young's belief that Bridger was stirring up the Indians against the Mormons and the extension of Utah territorial law to the Fort Bridger area are some of the points of friction touched upon. Also contains Lewis Robison's letter confirming the purchase of Fort Bridger.
