Scope and content
Reprint of flag raising at the original dedication of the reconstructed Fort Nisqually September 3, 1934. The original fort was located near DuPont, Wa. When the Hudson's Bay Co. moved out, it passed into the possession of the US government and the Fort deteriorated. When the land was purchased as the site of the Nisqually powder plant, the buildings were offered free to anyone who would move them. The Young Men's Business Club made it their project and eventually obtained a site on a bluff in Pt. Defiance and had the buildings moved. Ordered for Canadian paper by Al Gehri, one of the original architects.
