Historical Sketch of Jefferson Barracks The history of jefferson Barracks goes back to the old Cantonment of Bellefontaine. About the year ISO6 a small military camp was established on the banks of the Xlississippi a few miles above the present site of Saint Louis. There were a few trading posts and some scattered settlers on the river and it was largely for their protection that the camp was established. Bellefontaine, as it was named, did not prove to be a very fortunate selection for a camp. A new site was picked out just south of the trading post, Carondelet, now a part of Saint Louis, and to this place the troops were moved in I826, establishing what is now Jefferson Barracks, named in honor of President Thomas Jefferson. With the acquisition of new territory by the Louisiana Purchase and the constant pushing westward of our settlers, Jefferson Barracks became a very important post. Its primary purpose at that time was for the protection of the frontiersmen from the IndiaIIs and it served as a base from which many important operations were conducted against hostile tribes. The Black Hawk Ikar was probably the most important Indian uprising in this section. General Atkinson with four hundred regular troops taken from -Ielferson Bar- racks and a few river stations, and IIine hundred Illinois volunteers, met Black Hawk on the banks of the river on Aug. 2, 1932, in the final engagement of the war and there de- cisively defeated him. The Indians were dispersed and gave no further trouble. Black Hawk, the famous old lIIdiaII chieftain, was brought to the Barracks, a prisoner, by Second Lieutenant ,letferson Davis, who was afterward President of the Confederate States. l rom IHQQ to ISQN. Lieutenant Colonel Robert IL. Lee served at this post with the Sect-ntl Cavalry and many others who were destined to become famous during the Civil XX ar. Colonel IX. S. xloltnson. later General of the Confederate forces was in command. 'l'hert- were also Xlajor C leneral llardee of the Confederacy. General lfarl kan Dorn, General George Stoneman, General Theodore U'Hara and General George II. Thomas. liuring the Civil kkiar, -letIt-rson liiarracks was a very important point as a supply tlt-pot. Ii1'tJ111 wliiclt supplies and men were shipped out in large numbers. Likewise in the late World XX ar men were stationed and trained here for duty in foreign fields. The otlt Infantry is back again to its station after shifting from various parts of the tottntry lor tht first time since 1S2o, the year in which the famous regiment was or- uztnixctl. and in wliiclt it built this post. l'.t,g,' .S'1t,'y'-mit'
