COMMANDANTS OF FORT RIPLEY. The first in command at Fort Ripley was Captain John B. S. Todd, from whom Todd county received its name, who after- ward was a leading citizen of Dakota, and identified with the ma- terial interests of Yankton. In 1854 he was succeeded by Major George W. Patten, poet, and writer on military science. For a short time in the summer of 1857, the post was without a gar- rison, and was in charge of Ordnance Sergeant Alexander. On the return of the troops, Major Patten ag...ain came into com- mand. On the removal of the military force, the Indians at Leech lake became troublesome, and it was found necessary to keep up the garrison, as was the case during the Indian troubles of 1862-3. After Major Patten, Major Hannibal Day was in command; and still later Capt. William S. McCaskey and Capt. John C. Bates, both of whom won distinction in the Civil War, and again, nearly forty years later, in the Philippine War. THE CHAPLAIN AND HIS DIARY. The Diary of Chaplain Manney covers the period of his residence at Fort Ripley, from December 7th, 1851, to May I7th, 1859, an interesting period in the early history of Minnesota.
