Fort Ridgely road claims disputed by Maj Randall
Maj B H Randall of Fort Ridgely disputes the claim that the old fort Rosa to St. Paul road was built under federal contract in 1842 by Maj Joseph R Brown. He states the route was built by Red River oxen and carts, used as a marked trail since 1853, and that Brown never constructed a military road to Fort Ridgely. Randall recalls travels along the trail and hopes funding will honor the Appian Way vision.
