being abandoned we are to build anew immediately...This morning one
of the men of one of our Regt (crossed out) Co. accidentally shot

worth a pony...My pipe is made of the stone from The Red Pipe Stone
Quarry... We are very well situated to enjoy ourselves but the
officers are not what I would ask as they get drunk before
breakfast & that lasts till next morning then they commence again &
because I will not join I presume they do not like it. They are all
very civil as they are obliged to be, but one cannot enjoy their
society at all. Just now the officer of the day, while very drunk

Berthold was founded in 1845 on the upper Missouri River by the
American Fur Company (controlled until 1830 by John Jacob Astor).
It was originally called Fort James, but was renamed in 1846 for
the late Berthold. As a consequence of the hostilities with the
United States of the Dakota War of 1862, the Sioux burned this
fort. Fort Atkinson was an independent fur trade post built in 1858
by Charles Larpenteur on the Missouri River, south of what is now
White Shield, North Dakota (within the Fort Berthold Indian
Reservation). The American Fur Company had purchased this fort
after theirs was burned in 1862. They renamed it as Fort Berthold.
The Army took over the property, stationing a garrison here. They
also established a log camp outside the stockade to supply the fort
during the winter of 1864-1865. This fort was used as an army post
until 1867, when the military garrison removed to Fort Stevenson
