Tags: Military Structure.
In 1842 a large log fort was built at Trading Post by the United States Army upon the order of Gen. Winfield Scott. This fort was on the Fort Leavenworth-Fort Gibson Military Road. The completed fort was fairly elaborate. It included space to house a company of dragoons and their horses. Also it contained a hospital and store houses. Gaps along the outside walls of buildings were filled in with stockade walls.
