Modern Relics
of Early History.
In the ancient history of 81. Charles. "the
mother of States" and the first capital OF
Missouri. one finds many interesting land
marks still standing. and may gather from
old settlers many interesting and thrilling
tales of the days and the lives Of the pio-
neef Missourians.
There are legends and traditions In plenty
for the romancer clustering about the city.
To relate all of these would be TO fill a
book. The most stirring of them. of course,
are connected with the Indians that fingered
long in the State of Missouri.
Until a few years ago visitors to st.
Charles inquired with interest regarding an
odd stone structure that stood on the hill
near the clerks offices. an elevation over
locking the town and the river. This quaint
old building was known far and wide as
the round tower 1t was three stories
high and about 30 feet in diameter. There
were portfolios for rifles at regular intervals
around IL and it was believed to have been
the remains Of d fort from behind which
the Spanish and French settlers fired at the
Indians.
This pioneer relic has been torn down to
make way for other buildings. and only the
old inhabitants can point to the spot where
1t stood and tell you the story.
Another fort erected for protection against
the Indians was situated under the hill
near where the Courthouse now stands.
