Additional Details:
On this site was located in the 17th and 18th century a large stockade village of Sauk Indians. Here on Sept. 16th, Coulon de Villiers, Commandant of Fort St. Francis was fatally shot by Black Bird, a noted Sauk Chief. A fierce battle ensued in which many distinguished French officers were slain and the Sauks were forced to abandon their village.
