GLC to Rebuild Forts in South Dakota
Two early army posts in South Dakota will be rebuilt as part of a program by the Glen Conservation corps unit at Faith Island near Pierre. Cottonwood logs will be prepared this winter for reproduction of the first fort, with actual construction starting next spring and state historical society cooperation. Old Fort Sully on the Missouri River east of Pierre was used by U S troops in the Indian Wars and later abandoned for a larger fort nearby. Old Fort Pierre, a famed fur trading post from 1822 to 1856, was purchased by the government later and used as a military post for a few months.
