  • On Duty at Fort Ridgely, Minnesota: 1853-1867
    Copyright © 1977 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. On Duty at Fort Ridgcly, Minnesota: 1853-1867 PAUL L. HEDREN Fort Ridgely, Minnesota, rests securely in the annals of western American history because of the very significant role it played in the tragic 1862 Sioux Uprising. During the autumn of that year it provided protection for hundreds of homeless and stricken civilians. The post was actually besieged by hostile Indians on several occasions-an act not as common to history as it is to television and movies! And the fort served as a major focal point for the military operations that finaily quelied the Central-Minnesota hostilities. Contrary to most studies on the subject, however, a look at Fort Ridgely should be more than just an examination of the events of 1862.^ An encompassing study of this interesting post should look at the art of soldiering in the Upper Midwest, with all its associated ills and blessings. A study should look at the relationships between the military and civilians at this fort. An investigation of Fort Ridgely should answer numerous ques- tions. Just who served there? Who led those men? How did they dress? What did they accomplish? Ridgely was a vibrant fort, and it does have an interesting history-beyond the year 1862. The need for a military post on the Upper Minnesota River was quickly recognized and urged following the signing in 1851 of treaties with Minnesota bands of Sioux Indians. It was argued that troops should be better positioned to operate offensively 1. The standard approach to Fort Ridgely history has been to briefly examine the construction and use of the post, preparatory to lengthy discussions of the Sioux attacks in 1862, Such studies as Kenneth Carley's Vie Sioux Uprising of 1862 (St.

  • ALEXANDER FARIBAULT 177 Body, for Your Acceptance, to Be Disposed of in Such Manner As Your Wisdom May Suggest
    1927 ALEXANDER FARIBAULT 177 body, for your acceptance, to be disposed of in such manner as your wisdom may suggest. The slab is about two and a half feet in length, and a little over one and a half in breadth, and two inches in thickness. According to a report made in 1855, Minnesota was one of two territories which had " contributed a block of marble or stone, inscribed with its arms or some suitable inscription or device " to be built into the Washington Monument. In ad­ dition, every state and many foreign nations had sent stones. The Indians looked upon the pipestone quarry as sacred ground and they objected to having the whites visit it. Until 1836 only a few traders had seen it. In that year George Cat­ lin, the famous artist, made his way to the quarry despite the protests of the Indians, and he wrote the first account of it. This is published in Catlin's Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs, and Condition of the North American Indians, 2: 166-176 (London and New York, 1841). A brief account of Catlin's Minnesota visit appears in Dr. Folwell's History of Minnesota, i: 119-121. Dr. Folwell records that "A speci­ men of the red pipestone was sent by Catlin to a Boston chem­ ist, who after analysis pronounced it to be a new mineral compound and gave it the name ' catlinite.' " By this name it still is known. B. L. H. ALEXANDER FARIBAULT Can you give me some information about the career of Alex­ ander Faribault, in whose honor the city of Faribault was named ? ^ According to the manuscript census schedules of Minnesota for the year 1850 Alexander Faribault was at the time forty- four years of age and a native of Minnesota.

The primary responsibility is to assist campers by answering questions and explaining campground rules in a cheerful and helpful manner. Campground Host volunteers should be familiar with state park and forest campground rules and should become familiar with local points of interest and the location where local services can be obtained. Volunteers perform light maintenance work around the campground such as litter pickup, sweeping, stocking supplies in toilet buildings and making emergency minor repairs when possible. Campground Host volunteers may be requested to assist in the naturalist program by posting and distributing schedules, publicizing programs or helping with programs. Volunteers will set an example by being model campers, practicing good housekeeping at all times in and around the host site, and by observing all rules.
