According to the website: “Troops stationed there worked to subdue the plains Native Americans and force them onto reservations north of the Red River.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Life was hard for men at this frontier fort. They made long difficult patrols along the frontier, sometimes going as far as modern-day New Mexico and Colorado. They guarded the military road connecting them with forts to the southwest. They also helped local law officers keep the peace in Jacksboro.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“After the Battle of Palo Duro, the frontier became safer. The Army issued orders to abandon Fort Richardson in 1878.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
