History
The area within about a 5 mile radius of this site was considered a neutral area by all Indians. French traders set up a trading post every fall near the big spring. There was no fighting, and competing tribes camped side by side. However, it is fairly well documented that a renegade Indian tied a trader to a nearby cottonwood tree and burned him at the stake.
