Out of Old Nebraska by James C. Olson
The article recalls the 128th anniversary of Fort Atkinson’s establishment near the Sixth Infantry camp site. It notes the War Department plan, Congress budget cuts, and the Council Bluffs outpost as an early national frontier stronghold. The Missouri River keelboats and tow ropes defined the arduous journey, with a regimental order banning card games after camp began.
