(Right Tablet)

On this spot a fort-stockade was built to defend the lives of the pioneers of La Porte Prairie from a threatened invasion by Black Hawk and his braves in the spring of 1832. Warning of the dange was brought by John Coleman who rode his Indian pony Musquog from Ft. Dearborn to this place in six hours.
