'''Fort Leaton (1848-1851)''' - Never a military fort, Fort Leaton was established by Ben Leaton in 1848 as a fortified trading post. He died of yellow fever on a trip to New Orleans in 1951. The post continued operating for some years under Leaton's wife and her new husband.<br />
<br />
The adobe building was 192 feet square with an internal courtyard 30' by 60', an internal corral that was 179' by 82' and about 100 rooms. <br />

'''Fort Borst (1856-1856)''' - The blockhouse was erected by Captain [[Francis Goff]] and five soldiers for storage of grain needed by troops engaged in the Washington [[Indian Wars]]. <br />
<br />
After the [[Indian Wars]], [[Joseph Borst]] bought the blockhouse from the government for $500 and used it as a grainery. Originally the blockhouse was located on the Chehalis River just beyond the mouth of the Skookumchuck River. In 1919 it was moved to Riverside Park and in 1922, to the present site at Fort Borst Park.<br />

'''Fort Steilacoom (1849-1868)''' - The U.S. Army founded Fort Steilacoom in late August of 1849. Captain [[Bennett Hill]]'s Company M of the [[1st U.S. Artillery]] Regiment arrived at the Hudson Bay Company's trading post at Nisqually in August of 1849. Captain Hill negotiated a lease with the Hudson Bay Company for an abandoned farm 6 miles to the north for $50 a month. Fort Steilacoom was the first United States military fort north of the Columbia River.<br />
<br />
Fort Steilacoom and the other forts that followed strengthened the U.S. claims to the Pacific Northwest by providing settlers with a support system of government, law, security and cash. Soldiers at the fort provided settlers with a flow of consumers for their locally produced goods and a steady stream of cash. The fort doctor provided medical aid to the civilians. Fort Steilacoom itself provided a significant level of security, it was one of the better defended forts with 30 wood frame buildings erected in 1857 and 1858 to replace the original log buildings.<br />
<br />
==Indian Wars==<br />
<br />
On 29 Oct 1855, Indians attacked several white settlers in response to the treaty of Medicine Creek signed the previous year and the "Indian War" of 1855-56 began. The Indian War was not confined to the area around Fort Steilacoom but part of a general Indian uprising in the northwest. About 80 settlers moved to the fort for safety. <br />
<br />
During the "Indian War" the fort served as headquarters for the [[9th U.S. Infantry]] Regiment and the influx of troops brought many army lieutenants and captains who would make names for themselves during the [[U.S. Civil War]] - General [[George B. McClellan]], Confederate General [[George E. Pickett]], Union General [[Philip H. Sheridan]] and Union General [[Ulysses S. Grant]] who later became President.<br />
<br />
The war was relatively quiet for the fort. Col. [[Silas Casey]] arrived with 200 soldiers on 30 Jan 1856 and took charge. Casey clashed with [[Isaac Stevens]], the Territorial Governor, on how to prosecute the war. Casey wanted to wait out the winter and Stevens wanted to strike before the Indians could organize. The Indian War wound down in late 1856.<br />
<br />
Fort Steilacoom continued to grow after the Indian War. Lt. [[August V. Kautz]] supervised construction of new buildings during 1857 and 1858. In 1861 the federal troops left to fight in the Civil War, leaving the Territorial Militia in charge of the fort. The post was then transferred to [[:Category:Fort Nisqually|Fort Nisqually]] and Fort Steilacoom was abandoned as a military post in 1868.<br />
<br />
==Asylum==<br />
<br />
The Washington Territory received the 640-acre fort and farm, this time for use as an insane asylum, which opened in 1871. The military barracks housed mental patients and hospital staff. The hospital is the second oldest set of governmental facilities in the state and predates statehood by almost a generation. <br />
<br />
==Restoration==<br />
The Historic Fort Steilacoom Association formed in the 1970s to save the remaining buildings from the wrecker as the hospital sought ways to expand. Four renovated officer quarters buildings survive as an interpretative center and museum.<br />

[[Image:FortYamhillLocationMap.gif|right|thumb|400px|Location of Fort Yamhill 2005]]<br />
'''Fort Yamhill (1855-1866)''' Established during the [[Rogue River Indian War]] to watch over Indian tribes relocated from southern Oregon. The fort was sited and construction begun by Lt. [[William B. Hazen]] 26 Mar 1856. The site chosen overlooked the Grand Ronde Indian Agency and the relocated tribes. The fort was positioned just west of a demarcation line drawn earlier to separate the settlers and the Indians and along the military road to the coast. The post also adjoined the Killimuck Indian trail so access could be controlled. Civil War General [[Philip H. Sheridan]], then a 2nd Lieutenant, joined Lt. [[William B. Hazen|Hazen]] at Fort Yamhill early in 1856 and, as quartermaster, supervised the completion of the fort. Sheridan remained at the fort until the outbreak of the [[U.S. Civil War]] in 1861 except for a 9 month assignments to [[:Category:Fort Hoskins|Fort Hoskins]].<br />
<br />
At its peak, Fort Yamhill housed two or three companies for a total of about 250 men. Two similar outposts were created to watch over Indian agencies: [[:Category:Fort Hoskins|Fort Hoskins]] in Benton County, and [[:Category:Fort Umpqua (2)| Fort Umpqua]] across from Winchester Bay, Oregon. Fort Yamhill was abandoned and disassembled in 1866. The buildings were auctioned off and the land sold to private interests on 27 Aug 1866. The [[Fort Yamhill - Blockhouse|original blockhouse]] was removed in 1911 and now resides in Dayton City Park, Dayton, Oregon.<br />
<br />
The remains of the fort were rediscovered and a 55 acre Fort Yamhill State Heritage Area was open to the public 31 Jul 2006. The remains of a single building, thought to be Lt. Sheridan's quarters, survived on the site but was moved and later incorporated into another building. That building will be restored to the original configuration and will be moved back to the original location on officers row. Click here to see the [[Fort Yamhill - Sheridan House|Sheridan House]] over the years. It is unclear if the [[Fort Yamhill - Blockhouse|original blockhouse]], now in Dayton, will be restored to the original location. A 1991 survey revealed the location of at least 24 major buildings that once occupied the site including:<br />

<br />
[[Dr. David Brauner]] from the University Of Oregon Anthropology Department is conducting a multi-year excavation project on the site. His current focus is on the six buildings that made up the officer's quarters on the East side of the post and on the post kitchen located near the center of the post. The kitchen excavation is viewable from the newly constructed path through the post. Follow this link to view [[Fort Yamhill - Excavations|pictures of the excavation]].<br />

'''Isaac Ruddell's Station (1775-1780)''' - This station had a short but colorful history. [[John Hinkston]] first established a settlement here in 1775 with fifteen cabins but Indians caused its abandonment fifteen months later (1). [[John Townsend]] on Townsend Creek and [[John Cooper]] on Cooper's Run reportedly raised corn to supply the station's seed for the 1776 crop. Some other early inhabitants included [[William Kennedy]] and [[Thomas Dunn]] (2). [[Simon Kenton]] and [[Thomas William]] spent the winter of 1776-1777 and helped to build a blockhouse here (3).<br />
<br />
The site was enlarged and fortified by [[Isaac Ruddell]] in April, 1779 and became known as Ruddell's Station. A great many people lived here and at [[John Martin's Station|Martin's Station]] in 1780 when both sites were captured by the British and Indians under Captain Byrd. Drake (4) lists the following settlers who were among the residents at the time of the attack:<br />

A large number of settlers were taken prisoner and marched to [[:Category:Fort Detroit|Fort Detroit]] in Canada. Twenty were killed on the spot and later buried in a mass grave by piling stones over their bodies. [[Matthias Lair]] and his brother, [[John Lair]], settled on the property after the Revolutionary War and in 1845 a Lair descendant gathered the bones of the massacre victims and placed them in the Lair family crypt where they remain today.<br />
