Died at Fort Randall, South Dakota.
Fort Randall (US Army Corps of Engineers - Fort Randall Project)(1856 - 1892), near Pickstown. Located on the southern side of the dam, on the west side of the Missouri River. Only the post chapel was spared from the river damming project, which was restored in 1950 from original plans. This was the longest serving Army post on the Missouri River. Built to replace Fort Pierre (1). It became General Sully's base of operations against the Sioux in 1863 - 1865. During 1870 - 1872 the post was rebuilt at the present site, 1/4 mile from the original location and just downstream. The site has interpretive signposts. The Corps of Engineers Visitor Center east of the dam has the history and exhibits of the fort.http://www.northamericanforts.com/West/sd.html#randall
