Before 1800
In 1800, before Lewis and Clark traveled past Nebraska, several Native American tribes, mainly the Pawnee, Ponca, Omaha, Otoe, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho, lived in the area. The largest and most powerful tribe, the Pawnee, had about 6,000 members.

June 21 & 22, 1859
The so-called "Pawnee Indian War" began June 21, 1859, when seven or eight hundred Pawnee people allegedly stole a hundred head of cattle on the Elkhorn near Fontanelle. The next day, near West Point, the Pawnee people allegedly stole an ox.

Soon after
Non-native American settlers, alarmed, formed a military battalion of about 300, composed of companies of militia from Fremont, Fontanelle, and Columbus – and a detachment of the United States dragoons. The battalion, under the command of Nebraska Territory Governor Samuel Wylie Black (1816–1862), included:


 * 1) Major General John Milton Thayer (1820–1906), Commander
 * 2) General Experience Estabrook (1813–1894), of Omaha, Adjutant General
 * 3) Major General Samuel Ryan Curtis (1805–1866), U.S. Army, a West Point graduate and Iowa citizen who was visiting Nebraska, Inspector General
 * 4) Lieutenant Beverly Holcombe Robertson (1827–1910), a U.S. Army officer with the Second Cavalry Dragoons, with nineteen mounted men, Lieutenant Colonel

The battalion surrounded a party of Pawnee people in a house and ordered them to surrender. The Pawnee returned gunfire, wounding James Henry Peters (1824–1910) in the shoulder. The battalion returned gunfire, killing four Pawnees. A courier with this intelligence arrived in Omaha July 1, 1959. General Thayer set out at once for the seat of war with the Omaha light artillery. Companies of militia from Fremont, Fontanelle and Columbus and a detachment of United States dragoons joined the command as it moved up the Elkhorn in pursuit of the Pawnees. Governor Black overtook the army on the 8th. It numbered then two hundred men with one six-pounder cannon.

Each captain retained his position as captain of his company, excepting Sergeant Robinson, who was made commander of the United States dragoons. Dr. James Porter Peck (1821–1887), of Omaha, was appointed Army surgeon. A complete organization having been made, on the 8th we took up our line of march, making from twenty-five to thirty miles per day, following the Indian trail in its meanderings.

 * Fontenelle Mounted Rifles


 * The rest, volunteers

Monument
On Friday, July 5, 1928, on the Jacob Garman Shaffer (1848–1941) farm, about 4 miles south of Hooper, a monument was unveiled to commemorate to the 69th anniversary of the assembling at that point of Omaha, Fremont, and Fontanelle volunteer soldiers in the Pawnee Indian war of 1859. The monument was the fourth erected in 1928 by Dodge county to mark historical places in the county, the four being:
 * The place where, in 1859, volunteer farmers from Omaha, Fremont, and Fontanelle met and organized to punish native American Pawnee for killing cattle for food. It was on the Jacob Shaffer farm, about 4 miles south of Hooper, dedicated July 5, 1928.
 * The Lincoln-Overland Trail Monument at Ames, Nebraska, dedicated May 30, 1928.
 * The Major Long Monument north of Fremont, dedicated June 7, 1928.
 * The Purple Cane–California Route Monument at Purple Cane, dedicated June 8, 1928.

This monument also marks the site of the Jalapa post office, which according to U S Government date was established January 18, 1859, with Henry Clay Campbell (1831–1873) as the first postmaster. The site of the monument is about a quarter mile north of the present Jalapa school house, and on the east side of the road. The land, now the property of Jacob Garman Shaffer (1848–1941), was at that time owned by Campbell who settled on it in May 1858. The post office was located in the Campbell home, which was a pretentious one for those days, it being described as a “frame house 24 × 36 in size, 1-$1/2$ stories high, shingle roof and board floor.” This house was torn down a few years ago by Jacob Garman Shaffer (1848–1941). The monument is erected
