Introduction
It was a warm day, Zebulon Pike was looking over land, "Ahh, this is the land I was looking for." In 1819 Fort Saint Anthony was becoming complete, when Zebulon Pike changed the name to Fort Snelling. Fort Snelling is a famous Minnesota war base used during the Civil War, Dakota War, World War 1, and World War 2. It is now owned by the MNHS (Minnesota Historical Society). Fort Snelling also has a awesome facebook page.
