Text Appearing Before Image:
tains interesting archsological remains.These indicate the occupancy of a prehistoricrace of greater industry and intelligence thanthe Indians. One of these is the remains ofa strong fort near Pierre. It embraces about130 acres of ground, is admirably located forstrategic purposes, is laid out with a skill andaccuracy that challenges the admiration of mod-ern military engineers. Within this are foundremnants of pottery which give evidence of ahigh degree of skill and artistic sense. Copperinstruments, highly tempered, are also foundindicating an art now lost to man. The wallsof the fortification are very heavy and well con-structed, suggesting an industry and a skillnever exhibited by any Indian tribes. Thereare similar fortifications at several other strat-egic points in the State, such as Chamberlain,Vermilion, and Campbell County. Near oldFort Wads, in Marshall County, are also ex-tensive mounds which army engineers long agopronounced must belong to the work of a pre-historic race.
