      abstract = {Charlotte Ouisconsin Van Cleve (1819-1907) was the  daughter of a U.S. Army officer, one of the first group of  soldiers assigned to establish a fort in what was then  known to whites as the Northwest. This was Fort Snelling,  situated at the mouth of the St. Peter's [Minnesota] river  in territory which eventually became the state of  Minnesota. Van Cleve's book is a memoir of life spent with  the military first as the daughter of a military officer,  Major Nathan Clark, and later as the wife of another  officer, Horatio Phillips Van Cleve, who served in the  Union Army with the Second Minnesota Infantry and rose to  the rank of General. Van Cleve's book emphasizes the early  years of Fort Snelling. She recalls her childhood memories  of life at the fort: the rudimentary schooling she received  there, her encounters with Indians, the excitement of  communications with the East, and all the rigors associated  with frontier life. Van Cleve met her husband at Fort  Winnebago, where he and her father were both stationed.  Their assignments provided many opportunities to travel,  and she visited St. Louis, Cincinnati, Kentucky, and  Nashville.},
