Reading edition
See F. J. Goodfellow, S. D. Hist. Coll., Vol. 2, also the original translation of a portion of Le Sueur’s Voyage in Wis. Hist. Coll., Vol. XVI. The Fort took its name from L’Huillier, one of the French farmer generals and Le Sueur’s patron. In September, 1700, Le Sueur reached the present site of Mankato, Minn., and built the Fort, which according to most authorities was completed Oct. 14 of that year. The post was abandoned in 1703.
