Croix for, gave them relief. Col. Leaven worth, commanding officer, Maj. Hamilton, Maj. Larrabee, Maj. Vose, Capt. Gwinn, Capt. Perry, Capt. Gooding, Capt. Pelham, Lieut. McCabal, engineer of building; Lieut. Camp, quartermaster; Lieut. Green, Adjut. Lieut. Oliver, Lieut. McCartney, Lieut. Willdns, Capt. Or Maj. Foster, are all that I can recollect of the officers who first came to build the fort at the mouth of the St. Peter's river. In the summer of 1820 there was not much done towards the bu...ilding of the fort. The physician and commanding officer thought the location an unhealthful one, and moved all the troops over to some springs called "Camp Coldwater, " nearly a mile above the present fort, on the Mississippi river. I think the name Mississippi was taken from the Menornonee dialect, and should be spelled Miscessepe, 'the big river. " A few sol- diers were employed hewing timber for the fort, and a site was selected by the commanding officer on the first rise, about 300 yards west of the present fort, and some timber was hauled to the spot.
