Description:Vintage CAST Brass Bronze 1820 Ft Snelling Replica MINI. This tiny replica of the original Fort Snelling is only 2" by 2" by 2". Cast from either brass or bronze (non-magnetic), it is extremely heavy for its size, weighing in at almost a full pound despite its hollow center! Good detail. Felt pad on base. Excellent condition. Needs gentle cleaning. A brief history: The story of Fort Snelling is the story of the development of the U.S. Northwest. After the War of 1812, the United States government took physical possession of the valuable Northwest frontier by establishing a chain of Indian agencies and supporting forts from Lake Michigan to the Missouri River. In 1819, the 5th Regiment of the U.S. Infantry arrived at the junction of the Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers to build the northwest link in this chain, and completed Fort Snelling in 1825.
