About This Book

A chronological local history traces the site's evolution from a frontier military and trading post under French and British influence into an organized American settlement, examining relations among Native peoples, European traders, and U.S. officials. It recounts military episodes and frontier violence, including the LaBalme expedition and its defeat by Native forces led by Little Turtle, the siege and later evacuation of the fort, and the growth of Indian trade. Chapters address platting and the emergence of local government, treaties that altered land tenure, and the removal of the Indian agency.
