Colonel Nichols was sent up the

1915, to establish a fort at or near
Rock island. The obi. of the ex-
petition was to occup he territory
at the mouth of the Rock river and to
protect the expected arrival of set.

1t was also the purpose Of the eX-
petition to protect the line of COM
munication from St. Louis to Prairie
du Chen and other posts, which had
been established along the upper
river. 1t was feared the Indians, who
had shown unfriendliness heretofore,
would continue despite treaties Hence
the decision to establish a post al
Rock island.
The trip from St Louis to the site
of the tri-CitieS must have been an
interesting one. The expedition left
St Louis in the fall of 1915, but was
stopped at the mouth of the Des Moines
river, $40 miles below Rock Island,
by the ice. Winter quarters were es-
tablished here.
At the time of the trip to Rock is
land the government supplied the ar
my through contractors. George Dav-
export was the contractor accompany
ing the expedition that left st. Louis
in 1915. He carried his supplies in
| keel-boats, which were ordinary
barges or scOws, but provided with a
keel to permit the use of a mast and
sail.
At the mouth of Des Moines river
the troops constructed huts as pro-
lection against the cold. The pos'
was named "Cantonment Davis" Fort

Governor Ford:
The river at Rock island is a
beautiful sheet of clear, swift-run-

mile wide; its banks on both sides
were uninhabited, except by Indians,

and the yoyager upstream, after sew

the grandeur and beauty of nature,
which, at distance, gave it the ap-
castles in an uninhabited desert. so
well described in the Arabian Nights
entertainments"
Colonel Lawrence, in command OF
the Eighth infantry, superintended the
construction of Fort Armstrong The
fort itself was about 400 feet square,
inside measurements. Within the
walls of the fort was constructed
barracks and other buildings with
their roofs sloping inward as a pro-
lection against their being fired by
the Indians.
A majority of the fort was complet-
ed in 1916. but the final touches
were placed upon the structure the
following year The government main
tanned troops at the fort from the date
of landing on Rock island until the
present day.

petition to Rock island. General

first settlers here a century past and
1t is this same spirit of progress that
causes the community to grow and de-
velop into a center of Importance,
The early settler had no advantages
except the use of rich lands, while
today the resident of this community
has every advantage. This change in
conditions will be shown at the big
centennial, which will trace through
striking illustrations the stages of de-
velopment.
The reproduced block house will
prove of interest not only to the
thousands who visit the tri-cities dur

This historic Rock island with its

the replica of one corner of the fam
GUS Fort Armstrong will be visited bv
thousands during the monster tri-city
centennial celebration, June 1925.
As these thousands step upon the
ground where 100 years ago the path
was cleared for the wheels of prog
ress and when they viewed the repro
duction Of a part of the old fort
which protected the earliest white
settlers, they will realize the true
meaning of preparedness.
They will realize that without this
early means of protection the wave OF
civilization would not have covered
this territory and instead of a great
industrial center the spot upon which
the tri-cities are built might still be
a wilderness.
And these thousands of visitors will
see the great contrast between 1915
and 1916, They will see a blockhouse
identical to the three constructed {
century ago. On the other hand they
will see the nations greatest manu-

day Of the centennial, June is. Pion-
GERS of Scott county, Iowa, and Rock

prominent part in the construction

1t was shortly after May 10, 1916
that work began on the construction
| of Fort Armstrong and the block
house. There were three of these
block houses. They were at the three
angles of the fort. the north, east and
south. Each was provided with a can
non.

were of stone and the upper half OF
/ hewn timbers Both the timber and the
/ stone were secured on the island The

/ island end of the bridge.
! Fort Armstrong, with the towers of
its block houses standing like senti-
nels above the barracks, was built
along the rocky shore of Rock Island
I on the lower point of the island near
I the center of the river. The shores on
