One of three Civil War training camps in LaPorte County.
Site is one-forth mile west.
Named for Colonel Edward Anderson. Used 1863-1864 to train Indiana Union volunteers of the 127th, 128th, and 129th regiments. In the aftermath of George Rogers Clark's conquest, skirmishers from Cahokia led by Captain B. Hamelin and Lt. T. Brady, who had raided Ft. St. Joseph, were defeated and captured near here by fur-trader Etienne Champion and Potawatomi allies of the British.
