摘要

摘要:1847年，国会和总统詹姆斯·k·波尔克指派一支密苏里州民兵沿普拉特河路修建军事堡垒。他们的第一个项目是在今天内布拉斯加州的格兰德岛附近建造新卡尼堡。里德维尔·鲍威尔上校的密苏里志愿军在1848年春末夏初完成了堡垒的建设。利用波士顿艺术家和旅行者威廉·亨利·塔潘1848年的日记，以及其他主要来源，包括志愿军步兵的家书，这篇文章旨在扩大我们对长期被遗忘的事件的社会记忆。这里强调的是波尼族的存在，他们是新卡尼堡建筑工地的所有者。塔潘对波尼族既敌视又崇拜，他详细记录了波尼族的物质文化、习俗、部落领袖和宗教仪式。塔潘的日记还让我们瞥见了志愿军军官根深蒂固的种族仇恨和好战，以及密苏里志愿军普通士兵中复杂的民兵生活文化。此外，塔潘与其他几个位于普拉特河路上的民族的互动，包括爱荷华人、拉霍塔苏族和夏安族，为我们提供了1848年大平原普拉特地区更广泛、更全面的画面。

Building New Fort Kearny, 1848: The Pawnee Nation, William Tappan, and Powell's Missouri Volunteers

Abstract: In 1847 Congress and President James K. Polk assigned a Missouri militia to build military forts along the Platte River Road. Their first project was the construction of New Fort Kearny near present-day Grand Island, Nebraska. Col. Ledwell Pow-ell's Missouri Volunteers undertook and completed the fort by late spring and early summer of 1848. Utilizing Boston artist and traveler William Henry Tappan's 1848 diary, as well as other primary sources including letters home from a Volunteers' infantry soldier, this essay aims to expand our social memories of events long forgotten. Highlighted here is the presence of the Pawnee Nation, owners of the New Fort Kearny building site. In turn hostile toward and admiring of the Pawnee, Tappan recorded detailed aspects of Pawnee material culture, customs, tribal leaders, and religious rites. Tappan's diary also offers glimpses of the deeply embedded racial animosity and bellicosity of the Volunteers' officers, as well as the complex culture of militia life among the Missouri Volunteers' rank and file. In addition, Tappan's interactions with several other Platte River Road–located nations, including the Ioway, Lakhota Sioux, and Cheyenne, offer us a wider-ranging and more comprehensive picture of the Great Plains Platte region of 1848.

期刊介绍： In 1981, noted historian Frederick C. Luebke edited the first issue of Great Plains Quarterly. In his editorial introduction, he wrote The Center for Great Plains Studies has several purposes in publishing the Great Plains Quarterly. Its general purpose is to use this means to promote appreciation of the history and culture of the people of the Great Plains and to explore their contemporary social, economic, and political problems. The Center seeks further to stimulate research in the Great Plains region by providing a publishing outlet for scholars interested in the past, present, and future of the region."
