There is no 'we' involving me here, herosrest.
An unlikely beaver dam or eight would have a life expectancy only a few seconds longer than the unfortunate beavers when thousands upon thousands of Sioux move in next door. The wood for wiki-ups, fires, whatever, right there. Plus the pelts. Hundreds of horses riding back and forth would erase any evidence of the postulated high water at MTC, and of course sections would be marsh like. It was still an easy crossing for everyone right after the battle as it was for the Sioux and Cheyenne during it.
It's not a building, and the sooner you admit that, the sooner this current fiasco will end. No evidence for it, including from the people living under canvas just a few feet from it in the photo, no function, and it would have been burned by any passing Indian. No mention any where. No point to it in any case.
You haven't read Gray's Last Campaign or given any hint you understand the time-motion interfaces that make him so annoying to subsequent writers on the LBH, desperately trying to find something, anything, new.
The photo you claim is of Calhoun Hill is not, and the land graduations match that of LSH. Look at the complete photo, look at the map. Explain why you think as you claim despite that evidence. The river has not moved as you claimed, and the many loops have been there for a long time, visible today as photographed then.
ADDENDUM (..dee dum dum)
May 7! Another Irish holiday! At odds of only 101 to one (1), brave US soldiers of a Fenian bent (Or were they actual Irish national soldiers? Or Irish-Canadians and Sherman was violating the peace with England? So hard to tell....) managed to shoot a British officer in the back of his head at midnight and thus insure an international incident by cold blooded murder on their own!
And he got off, by a western jury utterly dependent upon the Army's goodwill. Another example of the inherent prejudice against the Irish in the Army and America in general. Isn't it grand, boys? What American army officer not Fenian in bent wouldn't feel secure with such at his back?
Two Continents, Nothing Risky Enough To Be A War, and One Dead English Officer.com no doubt has more about this forgotten heroic day. One wonders: what oath was foremost in the Fenian trooper's mind? To the government and our Constitution? To the idiotic Fenian cause? (We'll hold Canada for ransom....honest, look it up) It depends upon whether their photos are revealed, and they're handsome enough to quiver the spinsters' hearts.
