Fort Abraham Lincoln, Dakota Territories

[Diane Merkel]

Sounds good!

In the book, [Lee] Chambers describes the history, buildings, food, weapons, and everyday life of Fort Lincoln from its inception in 1872 to its decommission in 1891.

Historical blueprints and photographs are displayed throughout the book.

Chambers, along with his brother, Rick Chambers of Hayward, were involved in the archeological excavation of the enlisted men’s barracks and recently discovered four rifle pits at the fort that local historians did not know existed.
