Fort Kiowa was a 19th-century American Fur Company trading post on the Missouri River near Oacoma, South Dakota. Fort Kiowa was the destination of Hugh Glass' several hundred mile crawl. The site is now underwater.
Famous quotes containing the word fort:
“There was a deserted log camp here, apparently used the previous winter, with its “hovel” or barn for cattle.... It was a simple and strong fort erected against the cold, and suggested what valiant trencher work had been done there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
