        Residents of Ste. Genevieve played a key role in one of the critical battles of the Revolutionary War, according to historian Steve Fitzgerald, and that event will be commemorated this weekend during the 223rd anniversary celebration of the Battle of Fort San Carlos.
        The story goes this way: Spanish officials in St. Louis were expecting a major attack by British and Indian forces.  Lieutenant Governor Fernando de Leyba sent an order to Commandant Francois Valle to send men from Ste. Genevieve to help withstand the onslaught.
        Valle ordered Military Commandant Don Silvo de Cartabona to take 60 men to St. Louis, including the dozen or so Spanish soldiers posted here.  They took with them all the swivel guns the Ste. Genevieve post owned, and supplies for the mission.
        The local troops left Ste. Genevieve in time to arrive in St. Louis on May 13.  They waited almost two weeks for the expected attack, which occurred on May 26.
        Fitzgerald says that meanwhile, a stone tower was erected on Ft. San Carlos, located high on the Mississippi River, at St. Louis.  A trench also was dug around the city.
        The battle - the sole battle of the Revolutionary War fought west of the Mississippi River - lasted three hours, and resulted in many casualties.  But despite overwhelming numbers, the local militia and St. Louis defenders repelled the British and Indian attack.
        De Leyba would later write, "It would have been the last day of St. Louis except for three things: Divine Providence, courage, and prompt action."
        The old fort stood near the present location of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial Park and Old Cathedral.
        The commemorative observance will be held at that site at 1:30p.m.  It is sponsored by Hudson-Fauth VFW Post 8888.  Many other organizations from the St. Louis area are involved in the planning and will participate.
        While the tower of Ft. San Carlos is long gone, efforts are being made by St. Louisans to erect a replica at the site as a permanent memorial to its early defenders, including the men from Ste. Genevieve.
