mar 3, 1848 - Infantry Left Fort Atkinson

Description:

Fort Atkinson had been built in 1840 and federal troops housed there were charged with protecting the Winnebago Indians who lived on the Neutral Ground near the fort. In 1847 the Winnebagos surrendered their rights to land in the Neutral Ground and agreed to move to a reservation north of the Minnesota River within one year. The troops left Fort Atkinson in 1849.
