>>' EDITORIAL
This paper is one of a series of efforts made by this Cempany to have a Camp
Paper. An endeavor of this nature, nat-
Rurally requires the active cooperation of
Jl each and every member of the Company. It
should be ©f interest to note the comings
> and goings of your comrades, and to .know
Jthat these papers are exchanged with other
^Companies, where your acquaintances en-
b joy reading them and especially picking
-out the names of those they knww.
It is unfortunate that just'in the
midst of what appears to to thy most auspicious start we have evor made in the
newspaper field, the prime mover in the
affair, our Educational Advisor, Mr. Earl .
Richards, is leaving us. Ho has more material on hand than we believe was the case
in other attemps, and the general response
and enthusiasm is excellent.    :
It'is sincerely h©ped that we have
this time started off on the right foot
and will this time carry on ■ without a
fait is;.*.

FOTJD RIDGELY HISTORY,
The site which this Company new occupies
is closely associated with early Minnesota
history* y
In 1853 after a reservation had boen
assigned to them, the Indians began a
movement in desultory fashion towards their
designated home in1the Redwood Reserve,
They moved as they felt inclined and it was
not until, the offer af cabins to live in
and other inducements, that most of the
trite.s moved into tho reservation. By
1852 r.oss, than twenty families lived off
tho Be s e rva tic :.i,
With the establishment of the new Indian
Reserve and the removal of th-.. Indians
thereto, came the a.ecessity of a new Military Post in Minnesota. The concentration
of so mru.y Indians upon ah area really small
in comparison with tho country, a part of
which Aaoy hud occupied, and all of which
they had claimed to own, rendered the situation important and'worthy"of attention.
A Military Post was necessary to presere
order. ..among the savages an4 remind-them
that their Great White Father was keeping
watch; and ward ovor them, ready to protect
and encourage the good, and to repress and
punish the bad, The matter of tho newxMilitary Post was called to the attention of
Mr, .CM.Conrad, then a^ebreatry of War, and
General Winfield Scott, then commanding the
Regular Army, who delegated Henry II. Sibleyv
to investigate. General, Scott concurred in
Sibley's recommendations and the. Secretary
of War approved the recommendations and
issued the necessary orders.in the fall of
1852. ; ; '' *';' "
