"History of Trempealeau County Wisconsin, 1917": Chapter 6: Leavenworth, Forsyth and Ft. Snelling
-As transcribed from page 60 With
the establishment in 1819 of Fort Snelling, Trempealeau County was
placed within the pale of civilization, and thereafter soldiers,
traders and visitors were frequently passing. The expedition which
established the fort, headed by Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Leavenworth
and accompanied by Major Thomas Forsyth, the Indian agent, reached
Trempealeau and continued its course up the river in August, 1819. In
his journal Major Forsyth mentions that on the night of August 12 he
camped five miles below La Montaigne qui trempe a l'eau.41
