WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1928 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE COMMANDER OF FORT LINCOLN GETS TRANSFER, Lt. Col. Brown Going to War College—Lt. Col. Alfonte May Be Successor Lieut. Col. Thomas W. Brown, commanding officer at Fort Lincoin here since it was regarrisoned last fall, has just received word that he Will be transferred this summer to Washington, D. C., where he will become a student in the Army War college. Student officers at the war college, after a year's course of in- struction, are usually attached to the war department general staff for a four-year period. Although the opportunity to a tend the war college had been prom- ised Colonel Brown for some time # past, he was quite surprised to re- ceive notice that he is to report there this summer, as he had not expected that the transfer would be made for another two years. Colonel Brown must report in Washington between the 15th and 20th of ;August, he states, and will probably leave Bismarck early in July. Although no definite word has been received as to who his suc sor here will be, it is unofficially! request of the n: stated that Lieut. Col. W. A. Al- fonte, ndw on duty in the office of chief of staff at Washington, will assume command of Fort Lincoln. Colonel Brown came to Bismarck last fall from Fort Lawton, Wash., when the third battalion of the Fourth Infantry was transferred here to reestablish the local mill- tary reservation as an army post. At that time he had only recently ‘been transferred jo Fort Lawton from the Hawaiian islands, where he had been since 1923. He has been in military service practically all his life, having enlisted in the regular army when he hal finished college and being commissioned a second lieutenant of infantry he- fore he was 21 years of age. His pleasing personality and his carnest endeavor to cooperate to the fullest extent with tie people of Bismarck since he assumed com- mand of the local post have won him a host of friends in the city, who will regret to learn that he has been ordered away from Bismarck.

D., Feb, 22.— (AP)—The seven places in North Dakota which have the greates his- torical interest are Fort Union, 1831- 1867; Stanton, the county seat of Mercer county; Sanish, the terminus of the Soo Line railroad on the east bank of the Missouri river and the point where the Verendrye bridge spans that stream; Fort Abercrom- bie; Fort Berthold; Pembina and Fort Abraham Lincoln, situated on the west side of the Missouri river a few miles south of Bismarck. Such is the judgment of the state geographich board which was ap- pointed a year ago to settle such questions. The survey to determine the seven places of most historic interest was made at the suggestion of an eastern organization, which also asked for a list of the seven chief natural wonders of the state. Members of the geographic board, appointed by Governor Sorlie at the ional geographic board, are: O. G. Libby, Grand-Forks, chairman; Rev. C. L. Hall, Elbo- woods; Judge Horace Bagle: er; Howard Forks, and D: Their duty is to pass on all disputes concerning geographic names and to compile an official gazetteer of place names within the state, just as the national organization does for the entire country.

The first permanent settlement in the state was made at Pembina in 1819, though temporary winter quarters were built as early as 1812 at Fort Daer. As a military post the first fort built at Pembina in 1863 and another fort was built in 1870. It was an early rendez- vous for buffalo hunters and traders and the most important stopping place on the Red river cart trail be- tween Winnipeg and Fort Snelling. It was the headquarters of such pio- neers as Joseph Rolette, Norman W. Kittson, Father G. A. Belcourt and Charles Cavileer. The tragic end of General George A. Custer hangs like a pall over the history of Old Fort Lincoln. It was built in 1872 to guard the surveying and construction parties at work on the line of the Northern Pacific rail- road. The first fort, called Fort McKean, was built on the highest ae of the hill at this point on the issouri river. Later the quarters for Custer’s seventh cavalry were built on the low ground below the fort on the hill, and the post was called Fort Abraham Lincoln. Cus- ter’s headquarters were located there at the time he led his command into the campaign which resulted in the disaster of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876. | | On the slanting hill below the fort | jon the hilltop was located a very } old Mandan. village, called slant} village.
