ERECT MONUMENT
ON HISTORIC SITE
YANKTON PEOPLE TO COM
MEMORATE EVENTS OF OVER
100 YEARS AGO.

Yankton, April 19.--In year that
Benedict Arnold betrayed the strug-
Cling colonies, an event occurred on
the present site of the city of Yank-
ton which il is now proposed to COM
memorate with monument over
looking the Missouri river and the
new Meridian highway bridge.
No spot in the entire northwest is
possessed of more abundant histori-
cal tradition than is the site of
Yankton, yet little has been done in
material way to perpetuate this
tradition, and 1t Is to remedy this
neglect that proposals have been
made by Maj. Joseph Mills Hanson,
soldier and author, to commemorate
three particular events which occur
red here. events which had an influ-
ence on the entire development of
the northwest territory.
The year of 1880 is the first date
of Importance in the early history
of Yankton, for then it was that the
first white man became permanent
resident of the townsite. Pierre
Durion was probably French Cana
dian, one of those bold trappers,
traders and hunters. His body was
buried on what is known now as
"Ohlman's HILL" within the limits
of Yankton. hill overlooking the
Missouri
Another event of large Importance
with which Yankton is connected
was the meeting of Pierre Durion,
jr., son of the elder Durion, who
went down about to the mouth of
the Jim river to meet his father and
Lewis and Clark, is referred to in
their journals.
The first military expedition is
linked with the third event to be
commemorated. The first and only
fatality of the first military expedi-
tion up the Missouri river, and the
greatest in casualties that ever oc-
Cured in a military expedition on
the Missouri within the confines OF
South Dakota. came with the drown
ing of Sergeant Samuel Starkpole
and six soldiers on July 8, 1928, dur
ing the expedition of Col. Henry
Leavenworth against the Aricarees
AS nearly as can be determined, this
fatality occurred about mile above
the present site of Yankton.
These three events it Is proposed
to commemorate with suitable
shaft erected on Gilman Hill, the
Durion burying ground, overlooking
the place whore the early soldiers
lost their lives, And it is proposed
that this shaft be completed and de-
dicated at the time of the completion
and dedication of the Meridian high
way bridge.
