Summary "Old Fort Snelling, 1819-1858" by Marcus Lee Hansen is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the establishment and significant role of Old Fort Snelling in the American frontier during the 19th century, particularly focusing on its function as a military post and its interactions with Indigenous tribes and settlers. Hansen delves into the broader historical context of the region, highlighting the fort's importance in the American expansion and its connections to various territories in the Upper Mississippi Valley. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed examination of Fort Snelling's history. It begins with an introduction that highlights the fort's establishment in 1819 and its subsequent developments up to its abandonment in 1858. The author discusses the geopolitical dynamics of the area, including its historical ties to French, English, and Spanish influences before American control. The narrative illustrates how the fort became integral to the governance and military presence in the growing American West, focusing on the lives of soldiers, interactions with Indigenous tribes, and the fort's economic and strategic significance during early American expansion.
