FORT ABER0RoNB1A.
From Abercrombia Herald.

FORT ABERURONBIA.
From Abercrombia Herald.
There is no place within the
bounds of Rlchland county.
and, in fact, none in the North
west, that has more historic
facts and interest clustering
around it than Fort Abercrom-
bic. 1t has a military record
that is exceedingly interesting;
but all of it's history can never
be written only in what might
be called a fragmentary style.
And if we can only gather up
the most important fragments
they even will be read with
great interest by those who
wish to know more of frontier
life and the early dawn of ad-
vancing civilization that seems
to be marching with quickened
pace toward the golden sunset
lands of the far west. 1t seems
almost impossible to realize
that but a few years ago there
was such an important militia
~ post as Fort Abercrombie,
that figured so largely in the
settlement of the county, hav-
ing been a point where mil
lions of supplies were shipped
from st. Paul; where many
soldiers were stationed, COM
manded by officers OF the gov
ernment who made a grand
record for themselves; a place
where the maddened war like
Sioux besieged the citadel
with the flourish Of tomahawk
and war-club and the ringing
of the best rifles made in
America, as they from ambush
and tree-top used them with
the precision of trained sharp
shooters, making many Amer
icans bite tue dust; and that
now there is hardly a trace or
sign of those important events.
The fort has disappeared. and
so have many that were en-
gagged in the conflicts. The
old military reservation is now
covered with farm houses and
the tillers of the soil with plow
and harrow are making the soil
laugh with golden harvests;
and the place where the United
States cavalry a few years ago
made the earth tremble with
their furious haste to meet the
foe; where the skulking Sioux
with their war paint meant
mischief: where the thousands
of buffalo roamed at pleasure,
now can be heard the hum, rat.
tle,and music of farm machin-
ery;and the military camps
have given way to growing
towns and cities, and instead
of the Indian war-whoop We
now hear the shrill whistle OF
the steam engine as it passes
over the steel track, with it's
villages on wheels heavily
freighted with the travelling
thousands, who in palace cars
are crowding the great North
west to find homes and busi-
ness worth looking after.
Fort Abercrombie was estab.
lished in 1858, on the west
bank of the Red river, now in
Richland county, and about
fifteen miles from where Wah-
peton is located. The post was
abandoned after an occupancy
of little over a year, and the
property sold at a great sacri-
fee. It was rebuilt in July, 18.
60, under command of Major
Day. In July. 1861, the major
with his two companies were
ordered to Washington: Maj
or Markham with his two COM
panies took command. In 1862
all full regiments were ordered
south to join the United States
forces, and Captain Inman, a
Baptist clergyman was next in
