| Description: |
The caption for this image, written in 1916 and provided by the Educator-Journal Company, follows:“14. This Pioneer Fortress was located at Fort Wayne and similar ones were in other parts of the state in 1812.”[It unclear which particular fort this drawing represents. There were three forts constructed in what later became the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana: 1) “Mad” Anthony Wayne built the first permanent U.S. fort in 1794; 2) Colonel Thomas Hunt built a new fort to replace Wayne’s in 1800 which was standing during the War of 1812; and 3) Major John Whistler established a fort on the site of Hunt’s in 1815.] |
