FORT M'KEEN STORY TOLD BY FALCONER Pioneer Suggests Lions Ciub Start Campaign to Attract Tourists Here Discussing Fort McKeen. restora. tion of which is planned by the civil- jan conservation corps in view of its historical significance, W. A. Falcon- er, Bismarck pioneer who speak. er at their luncheon meeting Mon- day, told members of the Lions club that the first mail ever to leave what is now Bismarck bore a Fort McKeen postmark. Fort McKeen, which was located several miles south of Bismarck west side of the Missouri river, later became Fort Abraham Lincoln. Bis- marck originally was known as Edwinton, Falconer told the Lions, but the named was changed to Bis- marck in November, 1872, by the Lake Superior and Puget Sound Land Co. (controlled by the Northern Pa- cific Railway Co.) to encourage set. tlement of this area by Germans and to induce Germany to buy N. P. bonds. The history of Bismarck is cor- related with that of the N. P. rail- road, Falconer said, construction of which was begun at Carlton, Minn., in May, 1870. George A. Custer, for whom Custer Park is named, and Thomas L. Rosser, for whom Rosser Avenue in Bismarck is named. were prominent among early residents here, the speaker said. ‘They were cadets, studying engincer- ing, at West Point when the Civil War ‘oroke out, the former entering the service for the North and the lat- ter, a Virginian, fighting for the South. After the war Rosser came north to work for the N. P. construction engineers and worked himself to the Position of chief engineer. Custer did not come here to fight the Indians, Falconer said, but rath- er was called here with his 10 caval- Ty troops to protect the N. P. survey- ing crews, who had been attacked and defeated by hostile Sioux Indians. Army officials deemed cavalry was needed, since they would be more effective than infantrymen, and Cus. ter was ordered here. onel H. B. McKeen, who was killed June 3, 1864, in the Battle of Cole- harbor by hostile Indians, the pio- eer told the club men. In closing, Falconer told of a trip the had made Sunday with Major James M. Hanley of Mandan, Rus. eell Reid, superintendent of the state historical ders and Jacob Horner, in search of Custer’s old trail. They were able ‘to find it, he said, in view of the fact that drouth had prevented grass and vegetation from growing high to ob. ed, he said, and he exhibited some cartridge relics left by Custer’s men 86 years ago, as well as mule shoes, -which were found by the party on the trail. He suggested that Bismarck should RUPTURE #._L.
