Davis Withdraws On July 25, 1859, Captain Davis of the Second Infantry was ordered to withdraw from the fort with the one company of his regiment then located at Fort Abercrombie. The fort did not remain unoccupied as the growing hostility of the Da- kota Indians made it imperative that a strong military pcst be es- tablished at this point. Captain Wil- liam M. Gardner of the Second In- fantry was ordered up from Big Stone ‘Lake with three companies and he re-occupied the fort on June; 30, 1860. When the Civil War broke out all Federal troops were withdrawn from frontier posts but the garrison at Fort Abercrombie was replaced by two ae eet of the Second Min- nesota Volunteer Infantry under Captain William Markham. The fort buildings at this time had- been rebuilt and there were substantial barracks both for the officers and the men. There was, however, no stockade about the fort except at the stables. Three howitzers guarded the exposed sides of the fort. ‘ 3 On the 29th of March Captain John Vander Horck brought to Fort Abercrombie, as a permanent gar- vison, Company D of the Fifth Min- nesota Volunteers. Refuge for Settlers At the outbreak of the Indians in August, 1862, Fort Abercrombie be- came th. refuge of the fleeing sect- tlers. Over 100 men, women and children were at one time sheltered within the enclosure of the fort. The garrison built a rude defense of hard wood about the exposed west and north sides of the fort and from August 2 to Septembe: the fort was closely beset by t Indians. The howitzers proved most efficient in warding off the attacks of the Indians and at the latter date the | arrison was relieved by/ Captain | urger, who temporarily took com- | mand.
