Fort McKean is a fort located inside Kansas along the Kansas-Missouri border. On November 14, 1862, Company C of the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry, led by Lieut. James B. Pond, established a camp at Morris Mills on Drywood Creek. It was fifteen miles southeast of Fort Scott. Sometime later this camp was given the name of Fort McKean. The post was probably on the Fort Scott-Fort Gibson Military Road, and many, including Pond, thought the post was inside Missouri. Throughout its history, Fort McKean was a small post, ranging in strength from 20 to 60 men. It is unknown what buildings or defenses were erected there.

  • Fort McKean is a fort located inside Kansas along the Kansas-Missouri border. On November 14, 1862, Company C of the 3rd Wisconsin Cavalry, led by Lieut. James B. Pond, established a camp at Morris Mills on Drywood Creek. It was fifteen miles southeast of Fort Scott. Sometime later this camp was given the name of Fort McKean. The post was probably on the Fort Scott-Fort Gibson Military Road, and many, including Pond, thought the post was inside Missouri. Throughout its history, Fort McKean was a small post, ranging in strength from 20 to 60 men. It is unknown what buildings or defenses were erected there. Pond wrote the duties of Fort McKean's troops were "escorting trains, scouting the country, and protecting the border." On October 2, 1863, Pond's men were ordered to leave the post and report to Fort Blair (see Fort Baxter (Kansas)), in present-day Baxter Springs, Kansas. Three days later Pond's men were attacked by Confederate guerrilla William C. Quantrill and 400 men. On October 12, ten days later, Company C was back at Fort McKean. Pond remained in command until at least August 1864. After February 1865 Company C was replaced by Company G of the 17th Illinois Cavalry, which remained until at least June 1865. Then or probably shortly afterward, Fort McKean was abandoned. (en)

Attraverso gli anni, Fort McKean fu sempre una base minore, con una forza militare da 20 a 60 uomini; non si sa quali strutture difensive erano state predisposte. Pond scrisse che le consegne delle truppe di Fort McKean erano di "scortare i treni, esplorare il territorio e proteggere il confine". Il 2 ottobre 1863 ai militari di Pond fu ordinato di lasciare il campo e presentarsi a , nell'odierna Baxter Springs, Kansas. Tre giorni dopo gli uomini della compagnia furono attaccati William C. Quantrill e i suoi 400 guerriglieri Confederati. Il 12 ottobre, dieci giorni dopo, la compagnia C era tornata a Fort McKean; Pond rimase al comando almeno fino all'agosto 1864. Dopo il febbraio 1865 la compagnia C fu avvicendata dalla compagnia G, del 17° Reggimenti di cavalleria "Illinois", che rimase al forte almeno fino a giugno 1865; allora o poco dopo la base venne abbandonata.
