On how he would act in an Indian threat: ?Should the Indians in the vicinity of Forts Snelling & Armstrong become at any time dissatisfied & threaten hostilities toward the whites, I would not feel myself authorized to reinforce either of those garrisons although occupied by a portion of the Regiment placed under my command, without an order to that effect from higher authority, let the emergency be what it might.??This is also a fascinating insight into Taylor the man and his views on how the army should be runFort Crawford stood guard over Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, from 1816 until 1856. In the spring of 1829, troops began to build a new Fort Crawford on an elevated plain located on the mainland, safe from the floods that had plagued the first fort. The new structure was built primarily with quarried limestone, and work progressed slowly. Colonel (and future president of the United States) Zachary Taylor took command of the construction in the summer of 1829, and commanded the fort from then until 1837. Jefferson Davis (later president of the Confederate States of America) was a lieutenant at Fort Crawford, and supervised work at a sawmill on the Yellow River that provided lumber for construction. Troops moved into the new barracks in December 1830. While at the fort, Davis met and fell in love with Taylor?s daughter, Sarah. They would marry in June 1835, making Zachary Taylor Jefferson Davis?s father-in-law. But tragedy awaited, as Sarah died three months into the marriage of yellow fever, devastating Davis and causing ill will with Taylor, who blamed Davis for taking his daughter into an unhealthy climate.Soldiers at Fort Crawford served in many capacities after moving into the second fort. Most notably, troops took an active military role in forcing Native Americans west of the Mississippi River in accordance with the policies of President Andrew Jackson. Troops commanded by Col. Zachary Taylor fought in the Black Hawk War in 1832. On August 27 of that year, Black Hawk surrendered at Prairie du Chien and was jailed at the fort. In 1833, Lt. Jefferson Davis escorted Black Hawk to another prison at St. Louis, which journey also ended Davis?s time at Fort Crawford. The troops at Fort Crawford also worked to build a military road across Wisconsin to connect Fort Crawford with Fort Winnebago in Portage and Fort Howard in Green Bay. Additionally, soldiers from Fort Crawford enforced the relocation of the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Indians from Wisconsin to a reservation in Iowa in the 1830s. "Indian Removal," as the government called it, disrupted lives across the region and was successful in transforming Prairie du Chien from the front lines of enforcing Indian policy to one well behind the lines, leaving Fort Crawford without much of its earlier significance. Soldiers only occupied the fort intermittently after 1849, and the last active troops withdrew from Fort Crawford on June 9, 1856.Fort Snelling was on the bluffs overlooking the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. Finished in 1825, the fort established US sovereignty in the area, drove British traders away, gaining control of the lucrative fur trade, and established trade relationships with the Native Americans in the area. The fort continued to be a dominating presence for both the native population, settlers, and the US government for another 125 years. Dred Scott was taken to the Fort Snelling area as an enslaved man despite the laws that prohibit slavery in the Upper Mississippi Valley.In March 1825, Roger Jones became Adjutant General of the U.S. Army. He served in that post until 1852. His son Catesby ap Roger Jones was the commander of the ironclad CSS Virginia at Hampton Roads on the second day of battle with the USS Monitor.The 1st Regiment of Infantry of the U.S. Army was formed as the 2nd Regiment in 1792. This 2nd Infantry was consolidated May?October 1815 with the 3rd and 7th Infantry (both constituted 12 April 1808), and 44th Infantry (constituted 29 January 1813) to form the 1st Infantry Regiment. In the ensuing years the 1st Regiment was primarily concerned with Indian conflicts, and it was involved in the Black Hawk War of 1832 and the Second Seminole War from 1839 to 1842. In 1833 Col. Zachary Taylor was named to head the regiment.This letter demonstrates decisively that Taylor had leadership qualities, was not afraid of his superiors, and stuck up in every way for the soldiers he commanded. The text makes it clear the centrality of the Indian Wars to the command in the areas around Forts Crawford and Snelling, but perhaps even more importantly, lists the abuses suffered by the common soldiers at the hand of their officers, and vows to put a stop to it.Letter signed, three full pages, Head Quarters 1st Infantry, Fort Crawford, August 23, 1832, to the Adjutant General of the Army, standing up for the common soldier, decrying the improper use at the hands of their officers, and mentioning the Indians and the need for the Army to keep them ?respectful.?"I have this moment recd order No. 62 dated Washington 19th of July 1832, from which I observe that I was promoted to the commands of the 1st Regiment of Infantry. I regret to say as it respects the essential qualities of harmony, instruction, etc., it is very deficient; to correct which, as well as some other irregularities as far as possible, I calculate on having the cordial support of my Superiors."That portion of the Regiment stationed here has been constantly on fatigue for the last three years, except while on the late campaign against the Indians, & will continue to be so, for the,next term provided they continue here & go on to complete the quarters, store houses, etc., which has been commenced for eight companies, while a portion of the same Regiment, stationed in its vicinity, has had no fatigues comparatively to perform, other than what was connected with their proper military duties; while three of the companies from this post (a portion of the.
