Fort Hamilton.—Tomlinson, in his "Kansas in 1858," mentions this fort as the "stronghold of the robber Hamilton." Early in the year 1858 Charles A. Hamilton (correct spelling Hamelton), the leader of the pro-slavery mob that perpetrated the Marais des Cygnes massacre, built a substantial log cabin not far from the elevation known as Sugar Mound in Linn county. Later in the year it was taken by free-state men and in May was occupied by Capt. Weaver's company of some 30 men, who named it "Fort Hamilton."
