Jacques La Ramee was an influential, yet mysterious man. From the true spelling of his last name to whether Jacques was his real first name, there is little known about his, but he had a significant historical impact in Wyoming. 

Jacques was a French-Canadian fur trader who lived in what is now Wyoming. He entered the United States around 1815 with the North West Company, a fur trading business headquartered in Montreal and a significant player in the fur industry.  He banded together a party of “free trappers” and they began trapping along the North Platte River. 

With his reputation of honesty and equality, Jacques helped bring the free trapper rendezvous to Wyoming.

Accounts of his disappearance vary. It is said that Jacques ventured off to trap along the Laramie River in 1820.  When Jacque failed to show up to his own rendezvous the next year, a search party was formed to find him or his remains, but they were unsuccessful. 

Jacques lives on as namesakes succeed him. Throughout Wyoming many landmarks are named after Jacques. These landmarks include the Laramie River, Laramie Peak, the Laramie Plains, Laramie County, Fort Laramie, the town of Fort Laramie, and the city of Laramie.

Jacques contains goat's milk and scent of Cedarwood and Frankensence Essential Oil.
