Dawn,
Nope, you're right.  I couldn't remember the exact dates of the fort, but I
knew it was early 1800's.  That's why I said the dates were wrong for
Bingham.  He was too late in the century.  Caitlin was a little earlier, but
may still be too late.  As for images, I have suggested the Department of
the Interior or the Army.  They often did official documentation of military
outposts.
