And how do you propose you get all those bricks to some remote pass in Wyoming in the late 19th century? There was 21,000 (non-native) people living in an area larger than the entire United Kingdom in 1880.

I mean... A train?

I get you though; built with what's readily available to meet the needs of the time.
