' It was in 1867 that the Latter Day Saints Church bought the property, erected the volcanic rock fort to be seen today, and set about making the area safe for. the mail route and travel between the northern and southern parts of the territory as well as a place of safety against Indian attacks. v Well Remains In the center of the square re mains today the old well once used by the pioneers ; and the bell, an alarm for Indian attacks that did not come, hangs above the massive east gate. . At the turn of the century, long after peace had come about with the Indians and the need for the fort ended, W; H. Kesler, a pioneer of southern Utah, bought old Cove Fort along with 800 acres of range-land. Some of his descendants' are there today, making of their home something of a showplace. History still is in the making at the site of Cove Fort at the junc tion of State Highway 13 and Ii. S. 91. The Utah State Parks and Rec reation', Commission has been con sidering;' clearing the place, for a state park. This, however, ' is largely still speculation, and at last reports the state seemed in clined to leave it in private owner ship because of the cost of acquir . ing it.
