Fort Johnson (Illinois)-- Part 3: Three Fortifications in Warsaw, Illinois

From Joseph Smith Papers.

Fort Johnson.  Located at the foot of the Des Moines rapids on the Mississippi River in the town of Warsaw, Illinois.

Three forts have been constructed there:  Fort Johnson (1814), Cantonment Davis (1815-1818) and Fort Edwards  (1816-1824).

I was wondering about the Fort Edwards mentioned in the last post.  So it replaced Fort Johnson.
