One of the first Western Military forts was Fort Atkinson, north of modern-day Omaha. It was abandoned in 1827, and torn down for building supplies, but it has been rebuilt and reenactors can be seen during the summer months recreating life in the 1820's.

Another Fort was Fort Osage in Missouri built near the Missouri River in 1808 ordered by William Clark of Lewis and Clark. This was right after the Louisiana Purchase to show the French and Spanish that America was protecting their new lands. It was a Factory Fort for trading with the Osage and other fur trappers. When the Factory System of operation was ended by private traders, this Fort was closed/abandoned by 1827. New settlers in the area took materials from the fort's buildings to use. A lot of Fort Osage has been restored and is open to the public. The well there was dug to an original depth of 80 feet deep by hand since the Fort was built high above the Missouri River. Whiskey was used as an incentive for the men, lowered down that shaft via ropes (with buckets) to keep digging !! Also the Osage Tribe lived on a vast portion of land and were allies of the US.They are the only Tribe that never broke a Treaty with the US. However by the late 1860s the Tribe was force moved to their lands in Kansas and by 1872 they were moved to reservations in Oklahoma. Osage men were known to reach a height of six to seven feet tall. Average male setter was 5' 8" tall.

I live in Sheridan, Wyoming, and there are several forts- or remains of forts- in the area. The Fort Phil Kearny site is just up the road. That was built on the Oregon Trail to help provision and protect westward travelers. Fort Mackenzie in Sheridan is now a VA Hospital, and Fort McKinney in Buffalo is a Veterans Home (originally called the Wyoming Soldiers and Sailors Home).

When I was a kid, watching a colorized VHS of Drums Along the Mohawk, I had the impression that forts were always of a stockade or masonry construction. Fast forward to middle school and seeing Son of the Rising Star, and I was flabbergasted at the lack of a wall of any sort at the 7th's outpost. Went to the library and borrowed a book on frontier cavalry, and it confirmed that the open layout was commonplace on the plains. You live and you learn. Thanks for another year, Santee and gang. Hope this new one will be a great one for us all.

Not to forget Fort Davis National Historic Site in Fort Davis, Texas. I had my Tom Mix made for me in Fort Davis. It is funny how those iconic stockade forts were really more a thing back east. The winner is Bent's Fort, I think. It looks like an adobe fortress. I would really like to see more reconstructions (digital if nothing else), of some of the other adobe forts in the southwest. I didn't know about Tucson being an adobe-walled town before this. Fort Leaton State Historic Site in Presidio, Texas is not to be missed. It must be one of the best period adobe structures that has been preserved/reconstructed/maintained. Walls four feet thick. Cool inside when temperatures reach 110.

Where I live we have both stockade and open forts. In fact fort Vancouver is an example of both! It has a reconstructed Hudson Bay fort on the grounds of a now inactive army post. There are even 2 forts within my local community (3 if you count active ones) fort Stelacoom and the re constructed fort Nisqually. The first one was an army post from the 1840s to 1860s only a few original buildings remain. Fort Nisqually was a Hudson Bay trading post from the 1820s to 1850s it’s a stockade type fort with 3 original buildings and 2 rebuilt with salvaged original timbers. 2 watch towers and timber walls complete the fort.

Always love going to old forts. Out here in California there is the well known Sutter's Fort, but I love going to the lesser known Fort Ross. Fort Ross was built by the Russians in 1812 and used until 1841. The Russians placed a lot of heavy guns at the fort to deter the Spanish down in San Francisco from attacking it. It was the southernmost Russian settlement in North America, and I use to think about what it took to get there back in say 1820. Traveling from Saint Petersburg or Moscow across the Urals and the length of Siberia to catch a ship to Alaska and then down the Pacific Coast to that remote outpost. It might as well had been Mars in terms of a modern equivalent.

This wasn't the old west... well, it WAS the western frontier, just a century earlier, so I guess older west, Fort Michilimackinac at the tip of Michigan's mitten was taken over by the Indians during a lacrosse game, very strange story.

Very highly awsome and interestingly informative video, i really liked and enjoyed it, i got a littlelaugh out of the beginning of the video and enjoyed it, , great job and well done keep up the great work, I learned a lot about frontier forts in yhe old west and i got a ton of inspiration for my creepypasta,old west frontier,retro and video games inspired mythos-archive project im working on writing. Im definitely going to be adding frontier forts to my s mythos world that is a parallel-alternative earth, (well sort of), that is known as Tarmynea-EarthStone. The world of Tarmynea-EarthStone consists of many islands that are scattered throughout the great oceaneerium sea. Two of those islands are a gaming test stages beta island and a old west frontier island. I hope you all had a merry Christmas. Happy new year.

@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks and your welcome. Today I'm also going to get some more story inspiration from zelda lore and fan theories, super mario 64 fan lore and theories as well as real facts and history the game, the retro eras of the 50s to 2000s and video game and computer history as well as some philosophy, esoteric concepts and the nature sciences and fringe science/theories and history of animatronics and lost media. Right now I'm getting ready to write some character details for my story as well as some of the company details for my story too. The three companies in my story are Digita VideoEntertainment and Animations LTD Inc, Katori VideoDistributions games Inc, Hypnogogia VideoDream-Tech industries and Tasmatari ElectronicEntertainment toys and media Industries Inc. The character that I'll be writing some details for is named Rhoru Phosphoramus-Honorium and three other characters named Shar, Tharen and Zovya.

In Southern California there’s Fort Tejon, where the Army experimented with camels.

I was stationed at Ft Sill, OK for arty school when I was in the Marines. Houses the Army's artillery museum. Ain't much else there.

Still pretty cool with an artillery museum and Geronimo's grave.
