Fort Madison built on a scrap of paper ends in flames
In 1805 Gen James Wilkinson sent Zebulon Pike to mark a fort between St Louis and Prairie du Chien. A Sac and Fox treaty forbidding forts on the west side of the Mississippi was ignored as Fort Madison rose in 1808 and burned in 1813 after Hamilton and 50 men fled downriver, pursued by an alliance of Winnebago and Black Hawk. The old fort site, later rebuilt city walls, and a surviving chimney became Fort Madison's living memory.
