Ogden,
like many communities
of the West, owes its
origin to the fur trappers
who found a lucrative
trade in beaver and
muskrats along Ogden
streams. In the fall
of 1824, one trapper
from the Ashley Fur
Brigade, Jim Bridger
(then a boy of eighteen),
set out from Cache Valley
down the Bear River
in a skin canoe to settle
a wager among several
trappers as to where
the river emptied.
