Fort Madison the Black Hawk War Episode on the Mississippi
A feature recalls Fort Madison built on a “scrap of paper” between St Louis and Prairie du Chien. Zebulon Pike chose the site in 1805, despite a treaty blamed as a scrap of paper. After repeated attacks and a perilous 1813 retreat, the fort burned and was never rebuilt, leaving only a chimney later restored as a Fort Madison monument.
