Fort Carondelet
Fort Carondelet was a fort located along the Osage River in Vernon County, Missouri, constructed in 1795 as an early fur trading post in Spanish Louisiana by the Chouteau family.〔Hoig, 21–24.〕 The fort also was used by the Spanish colonial government to maintain good relations with the Osage Nation. Sold by the Chouteau family in 1802, the fort was abandoned the same year by its new owners.〔Hoig, 24.〕 By the time of an 1806 visit by Zebulon Pike on his expedition through southern Louisiana, the buildings were in disrepair.〔Neely, 16.〕 Although archaeological remains of the fort and its buildings were extant in 1874,〔Campbell, 623.〕 a congregation known as the Church of Israel (affiliated with the Christian Identity movement) has occupied the site since the 1940s.〔O'Neill, 1.〕
==Origins==
Starting in the mid-1700s, the Osage Nation traded furs with French and Spanish settlers, especially the French brothers Pierre Chouteau and Auguste Chouteau from the settlement of St. Louis. The Chouteaus were authorized to trade by the Spanish colonial government, and by 1787 built a temporary trading post along the Osage River in what is now western Missouri.〔Blackmar, 658.〕
Spanish Governor General Esteban Rodríguez Miró first proposed a fort in western Missouri in 1791, looking to strengthen Spanish allies living among the Osage.〔Burns, 127.〕 Before the fort was built, Miro was replaced as Spanish governor general by Francisco Luis Héctor de Carondelet.〔Burns, 128.〕 Concerned that the Osage would ally themselves with the French, Carondelet requested a peace meeting with six Osage chiefs in mid-1794, at which the Osage chiefs agreed (in exchange for peace) to allow the construction of the fort. Carondelet was informed that the fur trader, Auguste Chouteau, would financially support the construction of the fort as a replacement for his temporary trading post along the Osage River.〔Burns, 129.〕〔Houck, 210.〕 In a letter to Carondelet, Chouteau described the proposed fort buildings in detail:
Given his desire for peace with the Osage, Carondelet accepted Chouteau's proposal. According to the terms of the agreement between Chouteau and Carondelet, Chouteau received $2,000 annually to support twenty soldiers at the fort and a six-year monopoly on trade with the Osage, unless the Spanish government itself supplied the soldiers (in which case, Chouteau would receive the monopoly but no more).〔
