Stories about fortifications and fortified cities built by Indigenous peoples reveal the lesser-known history of pre-contact violence on the plains.Great Plains Forts includes stories of Spanish presidios and French and British outposts in their respective borderlands. Forts played crucial roles in the international fur trade and served as emporiums along the overland trails and along riverway corridors as Euro-Americans traveled into the West. Soldiers and families resided in these military outposts, and that military presence in turn affected Indigenous Plains peoples.
