Part One Caldwell’s Camp Dozens of tribes of Native Americans have been identified as having lived in, hunted in, or occupied territory in the region that is today called “Council Bluffs.” In 1803, the United States government purchased 828,000 square miles of land from France in a deal known as the Louisiana Purchase. The following year, President Thomas Jefferson sent the Lewis and Clark Expedition to explore and map the new territory. This expedition camped at a hill near what is now Fort Calhoun, Nebraska on August 2, 1804. There they met with the Otoe tribe on a hill they dubbed “Council Bluff.” Subsequently, the term “Council Bluffs” was used by traders and fur trappers to refer to entire region on both sides of the Missouri River. Figure 1 Meeting at "Council Bluff" In 1824, a St. Louis businessman named Francois Guittar established a white settlement on the Iowa side of the Missouri River. Calling the settlement “Trader’s Point,” Guittar and others traded goods to Native Americans in exchange for furs. In 1833, members of three Native American Tribes – Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi were force from their lands and relocated west. In 1837, they arrived at a reservation in Trader’s Point. The group of 2,000 Native Americans was led by Chief Sauganash (English name, Billy Caldwell) – a half-white, half-Potawatomi fur trader who spoke several languages. Their settlement became known as Camp Caldwell. Figure 2 Map of Camp Caldwell In 1837, the United States Army built a small fort or “blockhouse” near Camp Caldwell to “keep an eye” on the reservation. Two years later, the Army gave the fort to a Jesuit missionary named PierreJean De Smet. �The missionary came from St. Louis to attempt to convert the inhabitants of Camp Caldwell to the Catholic faith. At Camp Caldwell, De Smet observed in his journals that the Potawatomi were struggling, and he blamed the introduction of alcohol to the tribe by white trappers at Trader’s Point. Alcoholism and related violence claimed the lives of many in the tribe including Billy Caldwell’s oldest son. Figure 3 Blockhouse and mission De Smet made the first maps of the Upper Mississippi River, but he had little success in religious conversion in the area. He abandoned the blockhouse mission in 1841. De Smet left the area and travelled across the Great Plains, baptizing thousands of Native Americans. Today, De Smet’s legacy is controversial, with some considering him an advocate for Native Americans and others considering him a part of a legacy of colonialism, imperialism, and racist supremacy. When Billy Caldwell died of cholera in 1841, the Potawatomi tribe feared attack from the Sioux tribes who had originally Figure 4 Pierre-Jean De Smet inhabited the area. They called for assistance from neighboring tribes and from the United States Government who dispatched troops to the area where they stayed until displaced by a flood in 1843. In 1847 the tribes were relocated again, this time to Kansas. There they merged with a previously relocated tribe of Potawatomi on a single reservation north of Topeka, Kansas. When they were removed from Kansas in 1867, the tribe fractured and spread out to many different areas. Today there are many federally recognized bands of Potawatomi in North America. Potawatomi means “people of the place of fire.” The Potawatomi were part of a long-term alliance called the Council of Three Fires with the Ottawa and Chippewa who shared similar customs.

Part Two Kanesville Westward Expansion was the 19th century movement of settlers into the American West. Fueled by the Gold Rush, the Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, and a belief in “manifest destiny,” hundreds of thousands of migrants made the slow and dangerous journey west, hauling their possessions in wagons. On May 22, 1844 the Stephens-Townsend-Murphy Party, a wagon train of 50 pioneers, left present-day Council Bluffs. The party successfully passed the Sierra Nevada mountain range at what would later be called the Donner Pass, and their path from Iowa to California would be copied by countless others.With a steam boat to ferry wagons and supplies across the Missouri River, Council Bluffs was a popular starting point for settlers, and the population of Council Bluffs grew rapidly during the last half of 19th century. In 1846, religious leader Brigham Young, the second leader of the Mormon Church, was driven out of Nauvoo, Illinois. Young and his followers travelled across Iowa on their way to a new home at the Great Salt Lake, stopping at Caldwell’s Camp. Figure 1 Sketch of Mormons crossing the plains by Council Bluffs Artist George Simons Members of the Mormon Church (also known as the Latter Day Saints) stayed in the Council Bluff area on both sides of the Missouri River. This area became a provisioning base for the Mormon’s westward migration. In 1848, the town became officially known as Kanesville, named for Thomas Kane, an attorney who helped Brigham Young. Figure 2 Brigham Young �While in Kanesville, the Mormons had a ceremony to recognize Brigham Young as the president of the Church. Members of the Church hastily constructed a large building from cottonwood to accommodate everyone attending the ceremony. This building was known as the Kanesville Tabernacle. Figure 3 A replica of the Kanesville Tabernacle Emigrating Mormons were supplied at a dry goods store in Kanesville and ferried across the Missouri River. In 1849, news of large gold deposits in California led thousands of people to Kanesville, overwhelming the Mormon’s ferry system. This western movement became known as the California Gold Rush. Many thousands of gold-seekers, known as “forty-niners,” passed though Kanesville. Figure 4 Sketch of a steam boat transporting Mormons across the Missouri River in 1854 The large influx of forty-niners helped expedite the migration of the latter day saints. Having scouted ahead, Brigham Young urged all members of the Mormon faith to begin migration. In 1852, over 10,000 Latter Day Saints traveled to the new U.S. territory of Utah, making it the largest Mormon migration in a single year. With most of the Mormons gone from the area, the Iowa legislature changed the name of Kanesville to Council Bluffs in January of 1853. Council Bluffs continued to be a popular starting point for settlers after the Mormon exodus. The westward movement of wagons peaked in 1860 when news that a Transcontinental Railroad was the works caused many to postpone emigration, hoping to avoid the dangers of traveling by wagon. � https://archive.councilbluffslibrary.org/files/original/881756d76270956869d651b8102105b5.pdf 698e289c803325fba16e92dd896881e8 PDF Text Text Why Council Bluffs? Part Three Transcontinental Railroad Grenville Dodge was a civil engineer who moved to Kanesville in 1851 to survey land for the Union Pacific Railroad Company and other railroads who needed reliable maps and measurements. Future president Abraham Lincoln visited Council Bluffs in 1859 where he met with Grenville Dodge. Lincoln was Figure 1 Sketch of Dodge's survey team in 1853 interested in the idea of making a transcontinental railroad – a continuous railroad line connecting California to the existing U.S. rail network. Dodge convinced Lincoln that Council Bluffs would be a good starting point, and three years later President Lincoln signed the Pacific Railroad Act which designated Council Bluffs as the eastern terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad. Figure 2 G. M. Dodge in 1868 After serving as a General and spy master in the Civil War, Grenville Dodge became the chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad in 1866. The Union Pacific was one of two companies working on the first Transcontinental Railroad, and Dodge was in charge of planning the route and finding ways around obstacles. The first Transcontinental Railroad was completed in 1869, when the Union Pacific Railroad (building from Council Bluffs to the west) met with the Central Pacific Railroad (building from the San Francisco Bay to the east). The two railroads merged on May 10, 1869 in Promontory Summit, Utah with the ceremonial driving of golden rail spike. �It took 3 additional years of construction to build a railroad bridge across the Missouri River, connecting the first Transcontinental Railroad to the eastern rail system. Council Bluffs became a busy rail centers, with several railroads operating in the area, leading to rapid population growth. Only 2,000 people lived in Council Bluffs in 1860 – by 1870 that number grew to 10,000. Figure 3 Golden Spike ceremony - May 10, 1869 By the 1930, Council Bluffs was the country’s fifth largest railroad center which attracted many agriculture and manufacturing companies. Railroad travel became less popular in the late 20th century, and Council Bluffs experienced declining population and economic stagnation. Today there are several museums and monuments in Council Bluffs dedicated to the city’s railroad history. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
