WALLS OF OLD FORT
CRUMBE INTO DECAY.

Prairie du Chien-While the walls
of old Fort Crawford, enc u :he IA
] nous oil forts OF Wisconsin. are now
crumbling slowly in to decay, there is
growing up within the center of the
old building, tree that viii stand to
mark the place properly for centuries
to come.
The tree grew from the SEED. tuf
wv towers above the mason work CT
the old fort and is popularity referred
to as the Crawford tree.
During the last three-quarters of a
century old Fort Crawford has been
slowly decaying until there lie left only
some of the crumbling ruins.
The first fort was built at Pra. du
Chen in 1914 and was called Fort
Shelby. The reason for the construc-
ion of this fort was to protect the Fox
/ river Wisconsin river water route
to the Mississippi and give the Amer
leans an opportunity to defend the
western country
Taken by British
/ But the British had determined to
capture his fort, and gathering at
least 1000 Indians and a number OF
soldiers, Col Mckay came down thru
the Fox river, crossed the lands of
Portage and foated down the Wiscon-
sin to begin a formidable attack upon
the fort. The gunboat which was in
the river near the fort, was driven
down stream. After the boat had gone
Col. Mckay surrounded the fort and
having neither provisions nor ammu-
milton, the garrison surrendered.
The British took and kept posses
ion of the fort, renamed Fort Mckay,
until the peace of 1915. The arsenal
of Fort Shelby stood on the grounds
now occupied by the Keewatin acad-
envy. Shortly after the close of the
war of 1912, old Fort Shelby was de-
stroyed by fire.
Renamed i'm 1915
In June 1916, troops were sent by
the American government from St.
Louis to build new fort. 1t was
erected on the site of the old Fort
Shelby, but named Fort Crawford in
honor of William H. Crawford, sec
rotary Of the treasury under president
Monroe. This fertilization was built
in 1916 under the supervision of Major
Willoughby Morgan.
Just before the outbreak of the Red
Bird uprising, it was decided to aban-
don old Fort Crawford and build a
new fort much larger but farther down
the river. The construction of this
was started in 1926, but was not COM
pleted until 1882. 1t is the ruins OF
this old fort which are still standing.
