Fort Wayne, an old military post in the Indian country, was established on Oct. 29, 1838. It was located in what is now the Cherokee Nation, about 10 miles southwest of the southwest corner of Missouri. It was abandoned as a fort in May, 1842. Near the site of this old fort, Gen. Blunt's forces had an engagement with the Confederates under Cooper on Oct. 22, 1862. In this action Capt. Samuel J. Crawford's company, Second Kansas cavalry, made a brilliant charge and captured a battery of four guns.
