Excerpt from Fort Dearborn: An Address, Delivered at the Unveiling of the Memorial Tablet to Mark the Site of the Block-House, on Saturday Afternoon, May 21st, 1881, Under the Auspices of the Chicago Historical Society, to Which Have Been Notes and an Appendix

Official records show that the Fort was called Fort Dear born, in 1812, and there is nothing to indicate that it was not so called from 1804.

The adjutant-general's official records say: Post established, by United States forces, in 1804. Situated within a few yards of Lake Michigan, in latitude 41° 51' north; longitude 87° 15' west.

The adjutant-general writes me that from 1804 to 1812 there are no records on file. So I must fill up this space of time from unofficial sources.
