under j edgar hoover had their center here.ent tongsters were other prisons across america. it's where it began and ended. we are standing here at historic looking over the junction of the minnesota mississippi rivers. st. paul is located up the mississippi river from port snelling and the fort was here before the city was but the fort is intimately connected in the creation of st. paul. in the 1830's, there were groups of settlers that were living on the military's property. finally, the army had had enough of competing with them for resources and they felt they should be removed officially from the military property. the settlers moved across the river to the other side and they formed what became the nucleus of the city of st. paul. when you think about the story and the history of this region, you think beyond the walls of fort snelling. that's what we try to do here is push people to think more about what it means when all of these cultures came together? what perspectives do they have on these historic events? >> watch al
