This information was taken from the article <em>"Three Forks Area", </em>published by the Oklahoma Historical Society. The complete paragraph goes as follows:
One of the earliest people to set up trade in the Three Forks area was Jean Pierre Chouteau. He and his brother had been running a successful trading post for years in their St. Louis Headquarters .The trading post at Three Forks was set up on the Neosho River in 1796.
Jean's half-brother's name was August Chouteau.

<span>The Alien and Sedition Acts were passed by Congress in 1798 in preparation for an anticipated war with France. The Naturalization Act increased the Residency requirement for American citizenship from five to fourteen years, required aliens to declare their intent to acquire citizenship five years before it could be granted, and rendered people from enemy nations ineligible for naturalization. The subsequent Sedition Act banned the publishing of scandalous or malicious writings against the government. The acts were designed by Federalists to limit the power of the opposition Republican Party, but enforcement ended after Thomas Jefferson was elected president in 1800. Have A good Day. </span>
