Block houses were put up at the corners, and so constructed that in the upper part which jut- ted over the lower story, the guard could watch the approach of the enemy and attack them successfully. The s...paces not occupied by cabins were filled up with palisades. Strong doors made of thick slabs, or split timbers protected the places of ingress and egress. These stations were a sufficient protection against the small marauding parties, that came stealthily into the settlements. When no signs of hostile Indians were seen for some months, the people, tired of living in these stations, would remove to their cabins and attempt to raise a crop, when the first alarm would be by some family being mas- sacred, or individual killed, in attempting to pass from one settlement to another.
