sive documentary researches/ Erected during the first quarter of 

 the 19th century, the establishment was known by various names such 

 as Fort Eecovery, Cedar Fort, Pilcher's Post, and Fort Brasseaux, to 

 name a few. Tlie post had considerable significance in the early his- 

 tory of the area in connection with the Leavenwortli Expedition of 

 1823 and many other historic events of the time. However, docu- 

 mentary sources failed to pinpoint the location of the site. 



In 1960, a Smithsonian Institution party under the direction of 

 Thomas R. Garth made an extensive search for surficial features indi- 

 cating the possible location of Fort Recovery. In spite of the inten- 

 sive and extensive examination of the area by this party, the results 

 were negative. The actual location is still unknown.
