description of land along which it
runs. In order to prevent conflict
between the Iadians and the whites it
was decided to erect military post
near the eastern boundary of the res
ervation. The site was selected in
1853 by Col. Francis Lee and Col. N.
j. T. Dana, the latter of whom will
be present at the dedication to-day
Maj. Samuel Woods was placed in
command. That same year the fort
was erected, the material for the
same, together with two companies OF
soldiers, being hauled by the steam
boat West Newton from Fort Smelling
up the river to point opposite the
fort.
In 1854 the new fort was christened
by Secretary of War Jefferson Davis,
later President of the Southern Con-
federacy, Fort Ridgley, in honor of a
gallant general who fell in battle in
the Mexican war. There were five en-
tire transformations of the garrison
prior to the southern secession of
1861, one of the first officers of the
fort being Gen. Lewis A. Armistead,
who is painted on canvass in the pan
Drama of the Battle of Gettysburg.
He is lying dead near his dead horse
at the foot of the panorama. In 1859
Fort Ridgley was made an artillery
school of practice and Sherman's Bat.
terry of Flying or Light Artillery was
stationed there. Gen. Sherman him
self was an officer at the fort, as we're
many other generals, who afterwards
became prominent and won distinction
in the civil war.
The Indians were not idle or disin-
terested spectators of the conflict then
raging. They listened with as much
eagerness to the stories of defeat as
the Whites they knew the country
was claiming its able bodied and best
men in its support and watched with
interest the departure of volunteers
for it's defence and believed as they
talked that only women and old men
we're left. The taking of 46 men of

sofa Valley.

The Fort Ridgley monument will
be dedicated to-day. Early this morn
ing large number of Redwood peo-
pie will start for the place of dedica-
ton, where in August of 1862 not
quite 200 soldiers resisted Little Crow
and his band from conquering the en-
tire Minnesota valley, from laying the
valley desolate and in ashes, and from
marching eastward to the Mississippi
river, on his contemplated wild career
of conquering and numbering the
whites.
The dedication of the monument
recalls to the minds of the early SET
tiers of this valley the battle, the am
buscades, and the desperate attempt
of Little Grow to reduce the fort to
ashes and to murder the 800 or more
of men, women and children confined
in the fort for protection and to resist
the attacks of the red men. Some of
them are residing in this city, good
many are scattered along the Mime
sofa valley in Renville and Nicollet
and Brown counties, others have gone
away, while still others have passed
into the great beyond, and these will
only be present to-day in spirit.
Their children will be there and will
read on the monument the inscrip-
tons that will perpetuate their men,
cries as long as this Republic exists,
or longer.
1t must be born in mind that by the
Sioux treaties of 1851 at Mendoza and
Traverse de Sioux the Sioux Indians
coded all their right to the land in the
then territory of Minnesota, except
strip of land ten miles on either side
of the Minnesota river, from Little
Rock creek, near Fort Ridgley on the
east to Lake Traverse on the west.
