The men must heed that cry! NOTE: The following excerpt was taken from Milestones of Millard a history up tp 1952 As the captains were choosing up sides it looked as though a disasterous Indian skirmish would strike at the tle settlement With an any time order from President authorization Brigham Young they started to build a fort and to encourage speed to the captains who were responsible for a bastion and one half of the walls The winners were to be the recipients of a dance and supper while the losers were to furnish the food and the entertainment Captains Cropper and Nathan Pierce were in charge of the rock haulers Hawley and Isaac Pierce were in charge of the building of the walls The Hawley group completed its work in nine days the the Pierce group in nine and a half days Part of the wall built by the winners fell down so it was called a tie The work on the fort commenced in the latter part of June and was completed in July 1865 The mud and straw mixture of which the walls were constructed was made by plowing a trench turning water into it and throwing in straw from the plentiful wheat crop that year It was mixed with the tromping feet of oxen also and children women (men helped tromp the mud mixture) The walls were built on a lava rock foundation which was made of rocks from Black Rock The inscription on the marker at the as a defense fort reads: “Erected against Pahvant Indians in the Black Hawk War completed in 18 days by 98 men Hawley and Pierce foreman John Radford superintendent Opening celebration July 25 1865 The fort was 550 feet square with bastions at the northeast and southeast corner and portholes giving a view of each side The walls were made of adobe mud and straw mixed by the feet of oxen When completed they were 10 feet high 3 leet by 9 feet at the base and : feet at the top resting on a stone At once a solemn council met to plan against attack They hoped to make a fort of mud to keep the red men back Our men but numbered There was no time to waste They chose up sides to rush the job and went to work in haste Two acres of a salt grass flat according to the plan walls Would be enclosed by before a raid began A sturdy rock foundation laid was 9 foot more than through From Old Black Rocks’ volcanic pile in frenzied haste it grew! On top of that a mud wall rose ten feet toward the sky Well mixed with straw and tamped in place to make it tough when dry Port holes were left along each side at corners Bastions stood Two heavy gates of timbered beams loundation" Alter the fort was completed a willow bowery was made and a big celebration was held on the 25th of July heifer (inside the fort) A was baked lor the celebration
