Miller, S. D., April 81, 1909.
Mr.. President, Bismarck N. D.
Dear Sir: The summer of 1854 I
was with Gen. Sully's soldiers fight
ing the Indians in Dakota territory.
What I wish to inquire about is this.
We passed through the Bad Lands
some distance further north than
where the N. P railroad now passes.
Soon after getting out Of the Bad
Lands on the west another soldier
and myself while trying to find water
in dry run, discovered a tree in the
bed of the dry run. 1t lay just as 1t
had been felled but it had been sawed
up into five saw logs. The tree was
about two feet in diameter and petri-
ed as hard as stone But short dis
lance from this tree was a pile of
slabs that had been sawed from saw
logs, all petrified.
Have they ever been found or dis
covered by anyone that you know or
Would you or some one please an
swer?
Yours truly,
