Bonneville's party was engaged in the exploration of Wyoming, crossing the South Pass with 110 men and about 20 wagons.

The Green River site functioned as a rendezvous until the party returned east in 1835.

[2][3] No structure remains at the site, which is marked by an inscribed boulder placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution.

The stockade was described as 100-foot (30 m) square palisade of 12-inch (30 cm) cottonwood logs, 15 feet (4.6 m) high with blockhouses on opposite diagonal corners.
