According to story told several
years ago by csntenarian, the
original De Grau, accompanied by
his son Of - years, came to Ameri-
ca when there were few settlements
north of Boston. He decided to
prospect that country.
He journeyed by slow stages up
the Connecticut river to what is now
Bellows Falls, and then turned
west, crossing the Green Mountain
range and then following Otter
Creek north. While encam mped one
night near what was later New, Ha- Z
ven, VT, he was apprised by
friendly Algonquin scout that the
1-oquois, powerful branch of the
Five Nations, were on the warpath
and had routed his tribe.
De Grau and his son found the
mouth of a passageway leading in
to the side of the mountain. The
two crawled in. They found that
a rocky cut led toward the cliff.
De Grau found that the passage I
way ended in cave which showed
evidences of having visited by red;
skins. The cave opened into larg-
er chamber and this led to another,
finally the pair struck series of
vaults. In the last
one De Grau saw by the aid of a
torch crack in the wall. He stuck
the end of the torch into this and
section of the wall moved. The
man then saw that a slab fitted on
rough grooves covered an opening.
Removing the slab he saw tons of
silver ingots in circular chamber
hewn out of solid rock. .,,
