The site of Fort Dodge in the U.S. state of Kansas was originally an old campground for wagons traveling along the Santa Fe Trail, just west of the western junction of the Wet and Dry Routes and near the middle or Cimarron Cutoff. On March 23, 1865, Major General Grenville M. Dodge, who commanded the 11th and 16th Kansas Cavalry Regiments, wrote to Colonel James Hobart Ford to propose establishing a new military post west of Fort Larned. On orders of Col. Ford, Captain Henry Pearce, with Company C, Eleventh Cavalry Regiment, and Company F, Second U.S. Volunteer Infantry, from Fort Larned, occupied and established Fort Dodge on April 10, 1865.[1]
Fort Dodge was named for General Grenville M. Dodge. General Dodge wrote in his autobiography:[2] "Fort Dodge was named after me, not as an honor, by a command that I was sent out there in the winter, after it was too late to furnish them lumber or anything for an encampment and they had to make dug-outs in the Bluffs for the purpose of wintering and the Colonel in command of the detachment wrote me that they were so mad at being sent there in the winter with so little accommodations that they had named the place Camp Dodge.

Never speaking on the program until its famous final episode, Anderson paraded around Doodyville with bicycle horns to toot "yes" and "no" responses. He could expertly operate a bottle of gushing seltzer water, much to the consternation of the show's host, Buffalo Bob Smith, and its star performer, a marionette named Howdy Doody, and the rest of the cast made up of humans and puppets. The program debuted in 1947 as the first network children's daily television show. Americans were just beginning to buy their own TV sets after the war. Whether watching the show at home or sitting in Doodyville's Peanut Gallery at NBC studios in New York, children were captivated by the antics of the mischievous clown in the baggy, zebra-striped outfit. By the 1950s, "Howdy Doody" was hugely popular, and children couldn't get enough of it. Adults enjoyed the fun, too. The 1939 Senior High grad remained an en
