The fort was roughly square, with blockhouses on the northeast and southwest corners, a barracks, magazine, and gatehouse. The strongest parts of the fort were the blockhouses; made of thick timbers rendering them musket-proof, and mounting a three-pounder cannon each. By February of Hamilton had completed the major construction, but the stockades were still in a poor condition. Clark departed Kaskaskia on February 6, with American and French militiamen.

While the winter was not cold, it was exceedingly wet, forcing the men to endure wet conditions and wade through standing water in multiple places. By the time Clark arrived at Vincennes on February 23, food had also run dangerously low. Clark entered the town at sunset.
