effect were issued in March, 1888, and
the headquarters of the regiment were

Occupation.
On the 18th of May, 1s46, Colonel
Kearney, accompanied by Brigadier-
General Geo. M. Brooke and Major
Clifton Wharton, embarked from Fort
Leavenworth for Table creek, on the
steamer Amaranth, with company A,
1st Infantry, under 1st Lieut.. w. E.
Prince, and Company g, 1st Dragons,
under Capt. B. D. Moore; five officers,
besides the three first named, and sixty
four men. Major Wharton wrote the
Adjutant General, during this trip, re-
porting that the nearest post-offices
would be "either Munsiker's Ferry, or
High Bridge Greek, Atchison county,
Missouri, and suggesting Fort Nebraska
or Fort Macomb as a name for the new
establishment. On arriving, Colonel
Kearney says "the ground for the build
ings was laid off; the plan of them de-
cided upon all necessary arrangements
made, and orders given" suppose we
must say that this, the first improve
ment of Nebraska City, was the work of
General Brooke, since he was present !;
he being general commanding the Third
Military Department, with headquarters
at ST.. Louis. Colonel Kearney and
General Brooke then departed down the
river, leaving Major Wharton in COM
mand and on Colonel Kearney's arrival
at Fort Leavenworth, he received orders
to organize for the Santa Fe expedition
and therefore sent at once for Captain
Moore and his dragons; and the first
report from the new post dated Head
quarters Camp Kearney, near the
junction of Table Creek and the Missouri)
gives notice Of their departure, on the
morning of May S0th.
The Block-house.
"Camp Kearney" was thus left in
sufficiently manned. The garrison re-
ceived visit presently from the Otoes.
''The subjects treated of in the inter-
views with them pertained to matters of
general interest,"" says Lieut.. Prince,
rather vaguely, writing of it twelve
years later; Major Wharton gives a
more definite hint as to their transac-
tions, reporting to st. Louis that II
have not single horse for duty, nor to
follow trespassing party of Otoes. "
Major Wharton was thirsting for the
Mexican wars, and presently disappeared
from Table Greek. Lieut.. Prince re-
mained, and he it was, according to his
own recorded statement, who erected

filed, the matter slumbered for eight
years, during which time the site Of
Nebraska City was visited only by oc-
casional Indian hunting parties or fur
traders from st. Louis, passing up or
down the river. But in 1S46, under
pressure of imminent war with Great
Britain on the northwest coast and
Mexico on the south, there was great
activity at Washington, and on the 9Th
of March, by command of Major Gen
eral Scott, Adjutant General r. Jones
issued an order for the establishment
of a new military post on the Missouri
river, near the mouth of Table creek,
"as soon as the season for operations
will permit" The site to be selected
by Colonel Kearney, of the First
Dragons, then stationed at St. Louis,
the dragons being quartered at Jeffer-
son Barracks, ten miles below the then
city.
Colonel Kearney did not hesitate in
his choice, electing at once the spot
which he had once before picked out for
a similar purpose: and his opinion being
sought as to the necessary garrison, he
said that as the post would be in a
dangerous Indian country, and most
probably the starting-point from the
Missouri River of the Oregon emigra-
ton, he thought it would be perman-
ent One and recommended that it
should be garrisoned with at least two
companies of dragons and two Of
infantry, and four companies of mount
ed rif1emen in case the contemplated
regiment of that branch were author
lied. He has just learned that all the
timber lands in the vicinity of Table
Creek are claimed by squatters, who are
trading in whiskey with the Indians.
The Dragons.

Leavenworth, whence on the 18th of
of May he despatched Lieutenant A. j.

post, taking twenty government horses.
do not know when "dragoons" were
dropped from the organization of the
United States army; they had them in
the Mexican war, and did not have them,
that I know of, in the war of the re-
bellion. The origin of them seems to
have been this: President Andrew
jackson proposed the enlistment of six
companies so designated, in 1888, to re-
tain the services of large number of
volunteers, who had been enrolled as
mounted rangers" along the frontier
at the time of the Black Hawk war, and
whose term Of service had expired; the

tity of logs and lumber were left in
charge of William Ridgway English, no
doubt one of the squatters spoken of by
Colonel Kearney, and things were again
quiet for time.
Oregon.
The twenty ninth congress passed an
act, approved May 10, 1916, ''for estab-
fishing military stations on the route to
Oregon" This was necessary for the
protection Of the Oregon and California
emigration, which was now assuming
vast proportions; it may also have had
force as move in the game with Great
Britain, now nearing it's end, for the
possession of the Oregon territory. By
June, 1S47, the War department. had de-
cided that "these stations for the present
will be limited to two, the first near
Grand Island where the road to Cali
fornia encounters the Platte River, and
the second at or near Fort Laramie"
The intermediate station at Grand
Island was, I believe, an absolutely new
establishment. The other "fort" was of
course hitherto merely trading post;
Sublette & Campbell built in 1884
stockade on Laramie River (named from
one La Ramie, voyageur killed on it's
headwaters) which was called Fort John
and perhaps Fort William for few
years, when the name Fort Laramie dis
placed it; and this name the notable
military post which the government was
now about to erect at the same point,
inherited.
The Second Occupation.
These two stations the department.
decided to garrison with mounted vol
unteers, and requisition was accord
ingly made upon the state of Missouri
for one battalion, or five companies
The volunteers were promptly forth
coming, but it seems they experienced
deadlock in the election of their officers;
by the time this important matter was
arranged, it was too late for them to get
very far on their way before winter set
in. The emigration which they were to
protect was, at any rate, over for the
season, and it was held that no good end
would be served by attempting to fit
them up, even at Grand Island, for that
winter Adjutant General Jones there
fore directed Major Wharton, now
colonel and still stationed at Fort Leaven-
worth, to cause them to proceed to Table
Greek and winter them there, taking ad
vantage of the block-house that had
been built there the year before and the
extra lumber that had been cut. This
order was not received until after the
