Iowa Military Posts.
Many military posts were establish
ed at various times in the early days
of Iowa and Mr.. Jacob Wander Zee, in
an article in THE Iowa journal of
History and Politics." gives some in
teresting facts of these pioneer forts,
from which are condensed a brief
story: These forts were built partly
to defend the frontier from possible
attacks by hostile Indians, but more
especially to protect the Indians
themselves from interruptions white
traders and settlers who attempted to
encroach on Indian lands. First came
Fort Madison, built in 1908 on the site
of the present city Of the same name.
Twenty-six years later Fort Des
Moines No. 1. was established where
Montrose in Lee county now stands.
Fort Atkinson was erected in 1910
among the Winnebago Indians in
what Is now Winneshiek county. In
1s43 came the choice OF the site Of the
present capital city as the spot for
the location OF Fort Des Moines No. 81
Then in 1850 Fort Dodge was estab-
lished Other important military
posts in the Iowa country were Camp
Kearney and Fort Croghen, both on
the site OF the present city Of Council
Bluffs; Fort Sanford, about twenty
miles west Of Fairfield; and chain
of block-houses built in 1862 in north
western Iowa.
