On the morning of July 26, 1865, Lieutenant Caspar Collins and Commissary Sergeant Amos Custard rode into the history books during the Battles of Platte Bridge Station and Red Buttes. These small battles left an indelible mark on the history of Central Wyoming and especially the City of Casper, Wyoming.
Join Jeremy and John as they explore these important battles...and how the City of Casper got its name thanks in part to a typographical error.
