Last of a Historic Headquarters.

Operations have begun on leveling all
that remains of old Fort Crawford at
Prairie du CHEN. Fort Crawford is in
deed an historic land mark; around it
centers more history than any other
place in Wisconsin At one time, it was
one of the strongforts on the Iissis-
sippi, and its massive stone walls offered
protection for all within its gates. The
old fort has long since been destroyed
and upon its site now stands the beauti-
full buildings of St Mary's Academy.
Where the report Of the sentry's gun
once startled the wilderness, now is
heard the peaceful tones of the convent
bell. The only psrl CT Fort Crawford
that remains star ding Is part of the
hospital and it is this that is being razed
to the ground
