Fort Brady
Fort Brady was a frontier fort established in Sault Sainte Marie, Michigan to guard against British incursions from Canada. The original location of the fort, known as Old Fort Brady, was along the Saint Mary's River. Fort Brady was located at this site from 1822 until 1893, when it was moved to a new location on higher ground, known as New Fort Brady. The fort was located at the new site from 1893 until its close in 1944. The site of Old Fort Brady was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1956〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971;〔 New Fort Brady was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1970〔 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.〔
==Establishment of Fort Brady==
To enhance actual American control of the northwestern frontier against these incursions, especially in the wake of the War of 1812 against the British, the War Department decided to establish several forts along the Great Lakes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = Lake Superior State University )〕 Despite several treaties with the British clearly establishing American sovereignty over Michigan Territory, British forces made occasional to frequent incursions from Canada. In 1820, Lewis Cass, governor of Michigan Territory, negotiated the cession of sixteen square miles along the Saint Mary's River (connecting Lake Superior with Lake Huron) from the Chippewa Nation.〔
In July 1822, Colonel Hugh Brady, with Headquarters and Companies A,B,D,I and K of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, traveled to the Sault to re-assert American authority over the region and establish a garrison there.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Fort Brady (20CH51) )〕 By the end of the year, Brady had established a fort on a ten-acre site overlooking St. Marys River.〔 The garrison at the fort protected exclusive American sovereignty over the northern frontier.
