Buffalo Wyoming late 1890's looking over the town towards the west from the hill above town. Courthouse is on the left, the old flour mill is on the far right.	July 9th in 1864, a 150-wagon train traveling the Bozeman Trail was attacked by Indians east of Kaycee on the Powder River. It was led by experienced western traveler, Absalom Townsend, so became known as the Townsend Wagon Train. The travelers were well armed and led, so they managed to fend off the attackers and continue on to Virginia City, Montana. Absalom A. Townsend (1810-1888) was a very experienced miner from Shullsburg, WI. He was one of the original 49ers in the California Gold Rush and founded the town of Rough & Ready, CA in 1849.
