There is another marker a half mile away from the one I mentioned in the last post.
"This Tablet Marks Hull's Trail, 1812."
"On-half mile south of this site is the site of Old Fort McArthur. Built in 1812 on yonder hillside. General Tupper and 1,000 men camped the entire winter of 1812-1813.
"At the foot of the hill is their "Spring of Good Water." near here are buried sixteen soldiers who died in camp."
This marker was constructed by the Fort McArthur Daughters of the American Revolution.
